Ingredients

  1. 6 scallops, cleaned and patted dry
  2. 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking the peperonata)
  3. 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  4. 1/2 red capsicum (bell pepper), thinly sliced
  5. 1/2 yellow capsicum (bell pepper), thinly sliced
  6. 1 small garlic clove, minced
  7. 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  8. Salt and pepper, to taste
  9. 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing scallops)
  10. 2 tablespoons aioli (store-bought or homemade)
  11. Fresh parsley or basil leaves, to garnish (optional)

Method

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and bell peppers, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and crushed tomatoes to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. While the peperonata is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a separate pan over high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, then sear them for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Arrange the peperonata on a serving plate, place the seared scallops on top, and drizzle with aioli. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious scallops with peperonata and aioli!
