Exotic Taste Adventure: Dragon Fruit and Black Garlic Seared Scallops Recipe

Exotic Taste Adventure: Dragon Fruit and Black Garlic Seared Scallops Recipe

June 14, 2025 Written by Charlotte

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and adventurous recipe that I recently concocted in my kitchen. This dish is perfect for those days when you want to try something completely different and surprise your taste buds.

For this groundbreaking recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • dragon fruit (peeled and cubed)
  • seared scallops (seasoned with black garlic)
  • spicy mango salsa (made with chili peppers)
  • coconut rice (cooked with lemongrass)

To prepare this dish, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • pot

Start by cooking the coconut rice with lemongrass, allowing the fragrant flavors to infuse into the rice. While the rice is cooking, sear the scallops seasoned with black garlic until they are golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside. Prepare the spicy mango salsa by mixing diced mango with chopped chili peppers for a sweet and spicy kick. Lastly, cube the dragon fruit and set it aside as a refreshing and exotic addition to the dish.

Once all the components are ready, plate by layering the coconut rice, seared scallops, spicy mango salsa, and cubed dragon fruit. The unique combination of flavors and textures in this dish will surely impress your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 800 grams, with 4 servings at 200 grams each. One serving is approximately 350 calories.

A clever tip for this dish is to drizzle a tangy lime vinaigrette over the entire plate before serving. This will add a burst of citrusy freshness that pairs perfectly with the tropical flavors of the dragon fruit and mango salsa.

I encourage you to give this adventurous recipe a try and feel free to get creative with your own variations. Cooking should be a fun and experimental process, so don’t be afraid to mix and match flavors to suit your preferences. Enjoy!
