Hass Avocado Ring with Prawns
Serves: 6
1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
1 cup chicken stock
3 Hass avocados
Juice of half a lemon
1 cup mayonnaise, divided
½ cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 oz peeled prawns, cooked (Small cubes of cooked fish or chicken may be substituted for the prawns)
1. Put the gelatin in a bowl with 4 tbsp of cold water and set aside for a few minutes until it becomes spongy.
2. Heat the chicken stock in a pan, add the gelatin and stir until dissolved. Do not allow it to boil over or the gelatin will become stringy.
3. Peel, half and stone the avocado, setting aside one of the halves for garnish.
4. Mash the avocados with the lemon juice and then mix in ½ cup mayonnaise, cream, and salt and pepper to taste.
5. Stir in the gelatin mixture and pour into a 3-pint ring mould. Chill until set.
6. Mix the prawns with the rest of the mayonnaise. Turn out the avocado ring and fill the center with prawns.
7. Garnish with the reserved avocado, cut into slices or cubes.
