  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 2-3 passion fruits
  • fruity olive oil

Open the passion fruits, and press the seeds in a drain using a spoon, to extract all the juice. You need 4 tbsp of juice. Double the amount of olive oil (8 tbsp). Cut the vanilla pod in half and scratch out the seeds. Mix well and set aside.

Crush one tbsp of pink pepper and remove the black grains, only keep the pink parts.

Finely julienne the apple.

Cut the scallops into slices (about 2mm each) and arrange them on plates.
