Red Lentils & Scallops

What you’ll need:

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground white pepper

½ teaspoon sea salt

(1 teaspoon curry or chili powder can be substituted for the coriander)

Olive oil

½ cup chopped onion

4 diced garlic cloves

1 small Serrano pepper, seeded and finely diced (or other pepper)

1 cup red lentils, rinsed and sorted

3 cups vegetable broth

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

2 pounds sea scallops (medium size), rinsed and patted dry

Directions

In a small bowl, combine cumin, coriander, cinnamon, white pepper and sea salt.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and pepper and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of spice mixture and sauté 30 seconds. Stir in 2.5 cups vegetable broth, adding lentils when mixture begins to boil.

Boil for 2 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils are tender, about 12 minutes. Add more broth as needed to keep mixture moist. Stir in 1/4 cup cilantro. Take off heat and cover.

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Toss scallops with remaining spice mixture and add to skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned on both sides and just opaque in centers, about 2 minutes per side. (If more moisture is needed, add a splash of white wine.)

Divide lentil mixture into 4 shallow bowls, top with scallops and sprinkle with cilantro.

Serves 4
