These are the main ingredients, and the quantities can be found in the recipe card below.
- Scallops: coral-free if possible, for greater convenience.
- Avocado - did you know that, depending on the country of origin of your avocados, you run the risk of enriching the mafia? Find out more about green gold and alternatives in this Eco Tips.
- Olive oil: use a good oil if possible.
- Fresh herbs: cilantro and chives.
- Lime : to add a tangy flavour to the tartare.
- Ginger: I recommend using fresh, grated ginger.
- A pomegranate: the pretty pomegranates of this fruit go very well with the taste of this scallop tartare, and they're very pretty too.
🥰 Chef's tips
- Use an 3-3,5-inches round cutter to make a beautiful tartare.
- Don't skip the time spent resting the scallops in their marinade, as this is how they will soak up the flavor.
- Don't prepare this recipe in advance: the lemon will cook the scallops, so they shouldn't marinate for more than 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, as with all tartars, it doesn't keep very long. I advise you to taste it after preparing it. But trust me, once you've tasted it, you won't leave a crumb!

📖 Recette
Scallop tartare
Ingredients
- 10 large scallops without coral
- 1 avocado
- 6 cilantro leaves
- 1 small lime
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- A few chives
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- A few pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh scallops (if frozen, follow the thawing instructions on the packaging) and pat dry on kitchen paper.
- In a bowl, grate the zest from half your lime and squeeze the juice from the whole lemon. Remove the skin from the ginger with a teaspoon and grate into the bowl.
- Place the scallops in the bowl, place in the fridge and leave to marinate for 30 minutes (no more, otherwise the lemon will cook the scallops).
- Chop the scallops finely with a large knife, put half of them in the cookie cutter, then add 1 tablespoon of marinade, ½ diced avocado, a few cilantro leaves, chopped chives, salt, pepper and a handful of pomegranate seeds.
- Repeat for the second tartare and enjoy!
