Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mash

    In a blender or food processor, combine strawberries, artichoke hearts, and fresh mint leaves. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add salt to taste and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Scallops

    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season the diver scallops with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops to the pan. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Serve

    On a plate, place a generous spoonful of the strawberry and artichoke mash. Top with the seared diver scallops. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses and garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
