Ingredients

Step 1:

 Heat your Gozney Oven to 300-350°C/572-662°F with wood or gas.

Step 2:

Make the red chilli dressing by pounding together the chillies, coriander root, garlic and salt with a mortar and pestle to form a smooth paste. Add in the lime juice, fish sauce and palm sugar, mixing everything together so the sugar has dissolved. Set aside for 15 minutes, allowing the flavours to mellow and marry together. It will taste spicy, sour and salty with a background sweetness. 

Step 3:

Clean the scallops. The best way to do this is to slide a table knife against the inside of the top (flat lid) shell, separating the scallop meat from the shell. This will allow you to fully open the shell. Scoop the scallop out from the bottom (round bowl) shell using a tablespoon to separate the scallop meat from the bowl shell. Wash the scallop in a bowl of cold water, removing and discarding the black digestive tract. Set the white scallop meat and orange coral (roe) meat aside. Clean the round bowl shell for presentation and repeat the process until all the scallops are cleaned. 

Step 4:

Cut the white scallop meat in half, leaving the orange coral whole. Return the scallops to the round bowl shells and set on a cast iron pan or heavy tray. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the red chilli dressing over each scallop then transfer to the Gozney Dome for 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. 

Step 5:

Remove the scallop shells from the Gozney Dome and spoon an additional 1 tablespoon of the red chilli dressing over each scallop. Serve immediately and be careful of the hot shells!
