Instructions

Cook rice
1
  • Heat a medium pot over medium heat.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl to melt. Add wild rice medley and Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. 
  • Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 18-20 min.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered
Prep and cook veggies

  • Meanwhile, core, then cut hot pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping hot peppers!)
  • Peel, then cut shallot into 1/2-inch pieces. 
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. 
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then half the hot peppers and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender-crisp, 3-4 min. 
  • Add half the shallots. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min. 
  • Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. 
  • Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

  • Juice the lime.
  • Roughly chop cilantro. 
Make salsa

  • Add remaining shallots, remaining hot pepper, avocado, kiwi, cilantro, lime juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar to a medium bowl. Stir to combine. 
  • Season with salt and pepper. 
Prep and cook scallops
5
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse scallops. Pat very dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then the scallops. Sear, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.**
  • Remove to plate.
