Инструкции
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
- In the meantime, make the sauce. Put the roasted peppers, shallots, garlic, and vinegar in a blender and puree till smooth. Add in 1/2 c. seafood stock and the basil and mix till blended. Transfer the mix to a small saucepan, cover, and hot over the lowest heat setting.
- For the cilantro pesto, put the walnuts, garlic, and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor. Turn the machine on and add in 1 Tbsp. of the seafood stock through the feed tube. Drizzle in the lemon juice to create a paste. Transfer the contents of the food processor to a small mixing bowl and whisk in another 3 Tbsp. of the stock.
- When the water comes to a boil, add in the pasta to the pot. Cook for 8 to 10 min, to desired tenderness. Drain.
- Dust the scallops with the blackening seasoning, paprika, and thyme. Heat a heavy frying pan for 2 to 3 min over medium heat. Spray the pan with vegetable oil. Add in the pared scallops and sear them for 2 min on each side. Reduce the heat to low and squeeze the lemon over the scallops. Cover and cook for about 5 min, till the scallops are hard.
- Return the liquid removed pasta to the pot. Over low heat, stir in the cilantro pesto.
- Divide the pasta among 4 bowls. Place 4 scallops on top of each and pour the pepper sauce over the scallops.
- An extravaganza for the eye and the palate, this dish teams spicy blackened scallops with whimsical bow tie pasta in a novel cilantro-walnut pesto. It's topped by a roasted red pepper sauce which's as vibrant as it is pungent.
- The seafood stock can be made from fish-flavored bouillon cubes available in most supermarkets.
