For the Scallops

1

Prepare the Scallops

Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Sear the Scallops

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, combine the blood orange juice, black lime powder, honey, and extra virgin olive oil. Whisk until well blended.

Prepare the Celery Root

Peel and chop the celery root into small cubes.

In a pot, add the chopped celery root and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
