Ingredients
- Fried Scallops
- 1 pound bay scallops
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons coarsely ground cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon aleppo pepper
- 1/2 cup peanut oil
- 4 big ciabatta rolls, split and toasted
- 1 ripe tomato, sliced
- arugula
- salsa verde mayo (see below)
- Salsa verde mayo
- 1 handful Italian (flat leaf) parsley
- 1 handful basil leaves
- 1 large garlic clove, smashed and chopped
- 1 oil-packed anchovy fillet, chopped
- 2 teaspoons brined or salted capers (rinsed, if salted)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup good quality mayo
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
-
1In pie plate or other shallow dish, whisk together the cornmeals and all the seasonings.
-
2In a medium, deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it's nice and hot (about 350°F). Toss the scallops in the cornmeal mixture to coat them well. Then, add half of them to the pan. Fry them, flipping after 1-2 minutes, until they are golden and crisped on each side. Remove the scallops with a slotted spoon or spatula and put them on a paper towel lined plate. Fry the remaining scallops the same way. (You could also fry them in a deep fryer if you have one.)
-
3Spread the mayo on both sides of the toasted ciabatta rolls. Fill the rolls with arugula, tomato slices, and scallops. Serve with plenty of napkins on the side.
-
4In a small food processor (or with a mortar and pestle) process together the parsley, basil, and garlic until pretty finely chopped. Add in the anchovy and process a little more. Add the capers, the olive oil, and the lemon juice and pulse a few times. Finally, add in the mayo and process until everything is blended together. Add salt to taste. Scrape into a bowl and use for the scallop sandwiches as well as any variety of other sandwiches (it's darn good with porchetta).
