Scallop Seviche in Cucumber Cups

6 ounces sea scallops, cut into fine dice
1 tomato, peeled, seeded, cut into fine dice
1 teaspoon fresh chives, minced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced
1/4 green pepper, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 drops hot pepper sauce
juice of 1 or 2 limes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
ground black pepper to taste
3 cucumbers sour cream, as needed
cilantro leaves

Combine the scallops, tomato, chives, fresh cilantro, jalapeno pepper, green pepper, olive oil and hot-pepper sauce. Add enough lime juice to cover the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Marinate refrigerated at least 8 hours, stirring occasionally.

When ready to serve, peel and cut cucumbers into 1/2 inch slices. Scoop out a pocket in each, creating 30 cups. Fill with equal portions of the scallop mixture and garnish each with a small dot of sour cream and a cilantro leaf.
Yields 30 cucumber cups.
