Ingredients

  • purple cauliflower (200g)
  • dragon fruit (150g)
  • pistachios (50g)
  • black garlic (4 cloves)
  • coconut milk (200ml)
  • turmeric powder (1 tsp)

  • lime zest (from 1 lime)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • blender
  • saucepan
  • wooden spoon

Preparation

I start by chopping the purple cauliflower into florets and cutting the dragon fruit into cubes. I then crush the black garlic cloves and finely chop the pistachios. In a saucepan over medium heat, I combine the coconut milk, turmeric powder, lemongrass, lime zest, salt, and pepper. I let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes until fragrant.

Next, I remove the lemongrass from the saucepan and add the purple cauliflower and dragon fruit. I cook them until tender yet slightly crunchy. Then, I stir in the crushed black garlic and pistachios, giving the dish a rich, nutty flavor.

Tips

For an extra burst of freshness, sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro over the dish before serving. The herbs complement the unique combination of flavors wonderfully.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 750g, providing 4 generous servings. Each serving weighs around 187g. With its nutrient-dense ingredients, this dish amounts to roughly 250 calories per serving.
