Scallop Moussaka with Smoked Cod Pate Tomato Salsa

After a series of fine dining, Sydney's Alpha Restaurant's scallop moussaka left an impression on me. So over the weekend, I decided to make a similar version based on the photo and my taste memory with a few modifications.

In this recipe, I am using my own concoction - smoked cod pate instead of taramasalata. If you want to save time, you can use a pre made deli dip.



Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 4 servings



Ingredients
1 large round eggplant
12 large scallops
2 ripe truss tomatoes
200g smoked cod pate
10 fresh dill
2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
30g dukkah
Pink salt and black pepper to season


Method












To assemble:
















This is a beautiful modern Greek Moussaka based on Alpha's signature dish. It tastes rich, creamy and so easy to make. For those who are not residing in Sydney, this is one dish you should give it a go.

It is a perfect appetizer with BBQ and looks gorgeous at the same time.
