scallops recipe
Macération de pétoncles aux poivrons doux, mangue et balsamique
12 beaux pétoncles grosseur 10-20
1 poivron coupé en brunoise
1 mangue coupée brunoise
1 échalote ciselée
300 ml de vinaigre balsamique
500 ml huile de pépin de raisin
Mélangez dans un bol tous les ingrédients mais réservez les pétoncles pour les ajouter à la toute fin. Laissez macérer pendant au moins 24 heures. Lorsque les pétoncles sont noirs à l’extérieur (à cause du balsamique), retirez, coupez en fine rondelles puis dressez en rosaces.

Melissa McMahon
: My understanding is that marination is when you cook the item afterwards, whereas in maceration you don't - hence being usually fruit or veg. This is a 'ceviche'-type dish where the fish is cooked in the acid.

: 'macerate' usually implies putting back liquid into something that may have been dried (like fruit, etc.)

Discussion
You can serve macerated fruits as they are with some cream or ice cream, or use them to make fritters or compotes.
Dried fruits for winter compotes are often macerated. Ensure you completely cover fruits that discolour with the liquid and don't leave soft fruits too long or they'll turn to mush.
