Exotic Mushroom & Dragonfruit Delight

Hey there, foodie friends! Today I’m excited to share with you a unique and delicious recipe that is perfect for a cozy night in or a special gathering with friends. I was inspired to create this dish when I stumbled upon some exotic fruits at my local market and couldn’t resist experimenting in the kitchen.

Preparation

For this delectable dish, you will need the following ingredients:
– 250g king oyster mushrooms
– 1 dragonfruit
– 1 passion fruit
– 200ml coconut milk
– 1 tbsp maple syrup
– Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Make sure you have the following kitchen tools on hand:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• frying pan
• blender

To begin, slice the king oyster mushrooms into thin strips. Cut the dragonfruit and scoop out the flesh, being careful to preserve the shape of the fruit. Scoop out the pulp of the passion fruit and set aside. In a blender, combine the coconut milk, maple syrup, and the pulp of the passion fruit. Blend until smooth to create a tropical sauce.

## Cooking
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the sliced mushrooms until golden brown and caramelized. Add the dragonfruit flesh to the pan and cook for a few minutes until it becomes slightly caramelized as well. Pour the coconut passion fruit sauce over the mushrooms and dragonfruit and simmer for a few more minutes until heated through.

Serving

Once everything is heated through, transfer the mushroom and dragonfruit mixture to a serving dish. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the top and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Tips

A unique tip to elevate this dish is to marinate the sliced mushrooms in coconut milk and maple syrup before sautéing them. This will infuse the mushrooms with even more tropical flavor and make them extra tender when cooked.

In total, this dish weighs approximately 600g and serves 2 people with an average serving weight of 300g. Each serving is estimated to be around 250 calories.
