Instructions: Chick Pea Salad: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes before serving.

Red Pepper Vinaigrette: Heat juice of peppers with honey, saffron, onion, and vinegar until reduced by half or to a thickened consistency. Place in a blender and slowly add the oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a squeeze bottle

Cilantro Oil: Blend all ingredients in a blender for about 4 to 5 minutes or, until smooth. Place in a strainer lined with cheesecloth, set over a medium bowl and let the oil slowly drip, do not push through. Place oil in a squeeze bottle.

Coriander Crusted Scallops: Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Combine the ground coriander, cumin and salt in a medium bowl. Brush the scallops with olive oil and dredge on one side only.

Grill scallops, spice-side down for 2 minutes or until golden brown, turn over and continue grilling for 1 to 2 minutes until just cooked through.

Place Chick Pea Salad in the center of the plate, top with 4 scallops per person. Pour Red Pepper Vinaigrette around the plate and drizzle with Cilantro Oil. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
