This Avocado, Beetroot and Prawn Stack Is From Cook AND Share Cookbook by Mary Berry
Ingredients Needed
- 300g cooked beetroot (peeled and finely diced)
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 2 ripe avocados (peeled and finely diced)
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ½ bunch of dill (chopped, plus extra to garnish)
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp full-fat crème fraîche
- 1 tbsp creamed horseradish sauce
- ¼ small cucumber (peeled, deseeded, and finely diced)
- 350g small cooked and shelled prawns (dried on kitchen paper)
How To Make Avocado, Beetroot and Prawn Stack
- Prepare the beetroot layer: In a small bowl, mix the diced beetroot with the balsamic glaze. Sason with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir to combine.
- Prepare the avocado layer: In another bowl, combine the diced avocado, lemon juice, and chopped dill. Lightly mash some of the avocado with a fork to help it hold together, leaving some pieces for texture. Season and mix well.
- Prepare the prawn layer: In a third bowl, combine the mayonnaise, crème fraîche, and horseradish sauce. Season to taste, then gently fold in the prawns and diced cucumber. Mix everything together.
- Assemble the stacks: Place the cooking rings on a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper. Spoon the beetroot mixture into the base of each ring, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon. Add the avocado mixture on top, smoothing it down. Finally, spoon the prawn mixture on top and gently press it down.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the stacks for at least 30 minutes to set. To serve, carefully slide a fish slice under each ring and place it on a plate. Remove the ring and garnish with a sprig of dill. Repeat with the remaining stacks and serve with Tear and Share Cheese and Herb Rolls or brown bread and butter.
Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always choose fresh prawns, avocados, and beetroot for the best flavor and texture. Fresh produce enhances the overall quality of the dish.
- Dice Evenly: Cut beetroot, avocado, and cucumber into small, even pieces for consistent layers and better presentation.
- Layer Firmly: Gently press each layer with a spoon to keep the stack intact while removing the cooking ring.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the assembled stack for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and ensure a firm texture.
- Use Glass for Visibility: If you don’t have cooking rings, assemble the layers in glass dishes to showcase the colorful ingredients beautifully.
