|
You will need :- 4 oz. fresh or frozen prawns 8 large tomatoes 1 breakfast cup cooked long grain rice 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad cream salt and pepper to taste ½ cucumber, sliced mustard and cress
Preparation Time:- 20 minutes
Peel prawns, if using fresh ones, or defrost. Reserve 8 for decoration, chop the rest. Cut tops off tomatoes to make 'cups' (see Quick Tip below). Scoop out flesh and pips and keep flesh to fill omelettes or add to soups.
Mix the rice with lemon juice, parsley, mayonnaise or salad cream and the chopped prawns. Season to taste. Fill the tomato cups with this mixture and top each with a whole prawn.
Arrange circles of overlapping cucumber slices and stand each tomato cup in the centre of a circle. Decorate with mustard and cress. Serves 4.
Quick Tip
Making tomato cups: make ¼-inch zigzag cuts using a sharp pointed knife near top of tomato. Pull cap off carefully and scoop out centre. Or merely slice top off tomato, and leave edge plain.
