11024 Scallops Crudo with Vanilla Salt Under 5 mins Under 5 mins 4 servings Tue Jul 25 09:29:00 -0700 2006 Tue Aug 25 13:00:08 -0700 2009 Easy Asian Licensed http://www.chow.com/recipes/11024 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:00:08 GMT An unexpected combination Vanilla salt, ginger, and mint make for an unexpected combination. San Francisco’s Perbacco has a great assortment of crudo (the Italian take on sushi), but this scallop version is our favorite.

What to buy: Make sure to buy the freshest scallops you can find, and let your fishmonger know you’ll be serving them raw so he or she gives you a top-quality selection.

  • Slice each scallop horizontally into four thin disks and arrange on a serving dish. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, then sprinkle with a generous pinch of Vanilla Salt.
  • Scatter ginger and mint over the dish and serve.

    • Beverage pairing: Tōzai Living Jewel Junmai Sake, Japan. A simple dish with a lot of purity deserves something similar. This sake merges gentle flavors of tropical fruits, flowers, and some spice atop a clean, well-balanced palate with enough body to hold its own with the rich scallops.
