Scallops Ceviche Recipe By Chef Zsolt Zakar At Lobstar Restaurant

This Scallops Ceviche Recipe By Chef Zsolt Zakar At Lobstar Restaurant, it is fresh, vibrant and perfumed with the aniseed aromas and flavours of thinly shaved fennel. A seafood dish typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, such as lemon or lime. Here Chef Zsolt Zakar adds a touch of sophistication with fresh Irish hand dive scallops and lime infused ponzu, finishing with delicate touches of fennel pollen and sea trout roe.

Ingredients:
Fresh Irish hand dived scallops
Dill oil
Shaved fennel
Fennel pollen
Lime infused ponzu
Sea trout roe

Method:
1. Take out scallops from the shell and remove the scallop’s roe. Wash the scallops in running cold water to make sure there is no broken shells on the scallop.
2. To make the dill oil, use 100 g of fresh dill and 200 ml rapeseed oil. Blanche the dill for 5 seconds in hot boiling water, after putting in an ice bath. Dry and blend it with the oil. Season with sea salt. Keep it overnight in the fridge, then strain. Use a muslin to make sure no dill residue is left in your mixture. You need to get a green dill oil.
3. Shave some fennel with a mandolin and seasoned with sea salt and lemon juice.
4. Now the ponzu. You can buy it or make at home. Use good quality soya sauce, kefir lime leaves and lime juice. Put half litre of soya sauce, 100 ml of lime juice and some kefir lime leaves into a container.
5. Plating this dish is very simple. Slice the scallops into 4 slices horizontally.(depends on the size of the scallops).
6. Place around a plate 10-12 thin slices of scallops and cover with ponzu gently. Put dill oil around the scallops. Place the shaved fennel on the top.
7. Finish with fresh Irish Sea trout roe, sprinkle some fennel pollen and decorate with micro cress.
