Instructions
- Combine the 50 ml extra virgin olive oil, crushed garlic, ginger, red and green chilli, lime zest and juice, chives, salt and cracked pepper to make a dressing.
- Prepare all the seafood — king prawns, baby calamari, scampi, scallops, mussels, pippies and swordfish fingers. Preheat the barbecue to high.
- Grill the seafood, brushing with the dressing, until just cooked: mussels and pippies until they open, prawns and scampi until pink, calamari and swordfish until opaque, scallops lightly charred.
- For the aioli, blend the 1 cup light olive oil with the whole egg, a splash of lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt and 1 garlic clove until thick and emulsified.
- Brush the sourdough with olive oil and grill; rub with the halved garlic clove, top with grated tomato and season with sea salt and cracked pepper.
- Pile the grilled seafood on a platter with the bruschetta and serve with the aioli. (Method reconstructed from the video's stated ingredients.)
