Type: Fish
Courses: Starters and appetizers
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup  Fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons  Peanut oil or vegetable oil
24   Green peppercorns - crushed
  Salt
  Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 lb  Sea or bay scallops - finely chopped
1 lb  Ripe avocado - peeled (large)
2 tablespoons  Fresh chives - chopped
  Scallions - chopped
40   White mushrooms (small)
1/4 cup  Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons  Fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon  Garlic clove - peeled and crushed (medium)
  Salt and pepper to taste
  Additional chives - optional
  (or scallions) - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

COMBINE THE LIME JUICE, oil, peppercorns, salt and pepper together in a glass or ceramic bowl. Stir in the scallops, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours while they marinate.

They should become opaque in this time. Mash the avocado until almost smooth, then add it along with the chives or scallions to the marinating scallops (do not drain them) and mix well.

Set aside for at least 1/2 hour, refrigerated. About half an hour before serving the scallops, remove the stems from the mushrooms and wipe them to remove any dirt.

Combine the vegetable oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl, and brush the insides of the mushrooms liberally with the mixture. Just before serving, drain the caps and fill with the scallop mixture.

Garnish with additional chives, if desired.
