With a fresh and zesty chermoula, these scallops are loaded with flavour. Serve them up on their shells for a simple, delicious starter.
Both toum () and chermoula work beautifully on the grill – keep them handy for fish, steak, or grilled veggies.

Ingredients
- 12-18 queen scallops, with shell
- 250 g salted butter, softened
- 30 g slivered almonds, toasted
- 15 g sesame seeds
Chermoula paste
- 75 g garlic
- 50 g shallots
- 15 g coriander seeds
- 15 g cumin seeds
- 50 g preserved lemon, peel only
- 20 ml lemon juice
- ½ bunch parsley
- ½ bunch coriander
- oil, to combine
Instructions
- To make the chermoula paste, place all ingredients in the food processor and blitz until a paste forms.
- Mix together the chermoula paste with the softened butter and mix well. Roll in plastic wrap into a log shape, and refrigerate until required.
- Preheat your barbecue for direct cooking over high heat (230°C to 260°C).
- Cut the chermoula butter into 20 g pieces and place them onto the scallop shells.
- Once the barbecue has preheated, place the scallop shells onto the cooking grill. Grill over high heat directly for 2 minutes or until the butter begins to melt.
- Once the butter has melted place 1 scallop into each shell, and top each scallop with a sprinkle of slivered almonds and sesame seeds.
- Leave the scallops to cook for 4 minutes, or until the scallops are just cooked through, allowing the butter to bubble and cover the scallops.
- Carefully remove the scallop from the barbecue with a pair of tongs or heatproof gloves and serve.
