Wok the Lobster in Salty Black Beans, Chilli and Ginger
My good friend Ian Parmenter cooked this dish for me once and I love it. I've created my own version based on that…

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4).
Lightly grease two 12-hole (80 ml/2½ fl oz/⅓ cup capacity) muffin tins with butter and dust with flour (you’ll only need to prepare 20 of the muffin holes).
Melt the butter with the two different sugars in a large saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla bean paste and milk. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
Whisk the eggs into the slightly cooled mixture.
Add the banana, coconut, flour and cinnamon, and stir until well combined.
Count out 20 peach slices and set aside to garnish the tops. Dice the rest of the peach slices and stir into the muffin mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin holes, almost to the top, and decorate each with a reserved peach slice.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden, then test with a cake skewer. If it comes out clean, they’re ready.
Serve warm or cooled, dusted with icing sugar.
NOTE: I’ve been experimenting with different flours lately and I find that organic and wholemeal ones give these a wonderful earthy flavour. There are big differences in taste between good certified organic flour and regular flour, so I encourage you to experiment and taste the difference for yourself.

It's important to cook the scallops on a very hot griddle so that they caramelise and don't stew.
This is just great for a starter or with a French stick for lunch!
You can make this salad well in advance, even the day before. Just bring it to room temperature before serving
