Our Chef in Residence, Noreen Wasti, has created the perfect no-cook dish to impress this summer. While crudo at home might sound daunting, don't worry — Noreen also shared tips for sourcing and preparing raw fish.
"It’s a little too hot these days to turn on the stove so I’m pivoting to all things cold. Crudo is definitely one of my most favorite things to eat on a hot day and contrary to its restaurant-only reputation, I promise that you can easily make it at home.
This scallop crudo dish has a few distinct and delicious flavor pockets — lime marinated shallots and summer peaches bring acidity and bite, Ardor Chili Olive Oil adds a much needed kick of fiery heat, cilantro for herbaceousness, and of course textural flaky salt to season it all up. The delicate scallops cling onto the spice and brightness, it’s a dish that feels like summer and is so impressive to serve to guests (without spending two hours in the kitchen).
When shopping for scallops, look for dry scallops, which have no chemical additives. Go to your local fish shop for the freshest catch, this will ensure a spectacular result." - Noreen Wasti
