Active time: 25 min Start to finish: 45 min Ingredients:
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped |
4 teaspoons red-wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill |
24 sea scallops (1 1/2 lb), tough muscle removed from side of each if necessary |
vegetable oil for brushing grill |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill for cooking.
2. Make relish: Soak onion in 1 cup water with 1/2 teaspoon salt 15 minutes, then drain. Stir together onion, tomato, vinegar, sugar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and let stand 20 minutes. Drain relish in a sieve, discarding liquid, then stir in dill.
3. Cook scallops while relish is standing: Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill scallops in 2 batches on lightly oiled grill rack, turning once, until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Serve scallops with relish.
5. Cooks' notes: Scallops can be grilled in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over high heat. To serve as an hors d'oeuvre, top each scallop with 1 teaspoon relish.
