Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 yellow bell peppers
1/4 cup blanched whole almonds, toasted and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups Israeli couscous
1 pound dry-packed large sea scallops (about 16), tough ligaments on sides removed
2 scallions, thinly sliced, for serving
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Char peppers over the flame of a gas stove, turning with tongs, until blackened and blistering, about 10 minutes. (Or char under the broiler.) Transfer to a bowl, cover with a plate, and let cool completely. Scrape off skins with a paring knife or paper towel.
  • Remove stems, ribs, and seeds, then finely dice peppers and transfer to another bowl. Add almonds, garlic, paprika, vinegar, and oil; season with salt. Relish can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days.
  • Cook couscous in boiling salted water according to package instructions. Drain; drizzle with oil. Transfer to a platter.
  • Heat grill to medium. Thread scallops on metal skewers; drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning, until scallops are lightly charred and just cooked through, about 2 minutes a side. Transfer skewers to couscous. Drizzle with some relish; sprinkle with scallions and cilantro. Serve, with more relish alongside.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the relish was delicious. I'll try again next time and cook the scallops for a shorter amount of time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the scallops didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. They were a bit tough and the relish was too sweet for my taste.
