Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large pieces scallops
- 240 grams black beans
- 1 large, finely chopped red chilli
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 inch, finely grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced spring onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped coriander leaves
Instructions
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the scallops with salt and black pepper, then sear them in the hot skillet for 1.5–2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium.
Sauté the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped red chilli for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the black beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the soy sauce and lime juice over the black beans, stirring to coat them evenly.
Return the seared scallops to the skillet and cook for another 1–2 minutes, ensuring they are warmed through and coated in the sauce.
Garnish the dish with sliced spring onions and chopped coriander leaves.
Serve immediately, either as is or with a side of steamed rice or crusty bread if desired.
