Cook tips – to prevent the avocado wobbling about,
shave a little of the skin from the base of each half before
filling. If the avocado is a little unripe baking will soften
it.
Heat under a grill if it is more convenient. Ready-made apple
purée can be used. Use small avocado if serving as a starter.
Apple
purée
Peel, core and slice bramley apples into a pan with just enough
water to moisten the base. Add several whole cloves (optional),
place lid on pan and cook over a gentle heat until the apples
pulp and rise in the pan.
Remove from the heat and use immediately or allow to become
cold and store, covered, in a fridge or cold larger. Use within
4 days. To freeze remove the cloves and pack the cold purée
into freezer bags of varying sizes.
Figs
in Blankets in little bread baskets
1 fresh fig
1 rasher back bacon a little made English mustard 1 bread
roll – brown or white a little oil
Set
oven at gas 6/450ºf/220ºc/Aga roasting oven.
Wrap the fig in the bacon rasher and stand it in a lightly
oiled shallow ovenproof dish and bake, uncovered, for 8-10mins
or until the bacon is cooked.
Cut the top from the roll and scoop out the centre to form
a cavity. Lightly butter or oil, put on a baking tray and
bake until brown and crisp.
Remove from oven and spread a little made mustard on the base
before putting the baked fig inside. Pour any juices in the
pan over the fig.
Lazy
Cook tips – this is an unusual but good way to serve
fresh figs, serve as a starter allowing one per person and
perhaps accompanied by a little fresh watercress. If baking
several place them in the dish with the loose bacon ends touching
and this will prevent the bacon unwrapping itself from the
figs. The bread baskets can be crisped in the same oven as
the figs – use the tops and centre bread to make into breadcrumbs.
Serve hot or cold.
