I got the idea for this super snack from somewhere
where wonton wrappers were used. I
didn't have any but did have leftover frozen spring roll wrappers.
Ingredients:
Gently thawed spring roll wrappers
Oil (neutral one)
Cup of thawed frozen cooked prawns (keep 12 whole
and chop the rest)
A little finely chopped red onion
2-3 Cherry tomatoes, chopped
Squirt of mayonnaise ( or use cream cheese)
Lemon juice
Salt, pepper, cayenne pepper
Method:
Preheat the oven to 175C (350F)
Get all your ingredients ready
Oil your muffin tins and then put 2 spring roll
wrappers in each – trying to get them to follow the contours of the tin.
Cook for 8 minutes in the oven
While they are cooking mix everything else up in
the bowl – except for the 12 whole prawns.
Spoon the filling into the cases and pop the whole
prawn on top – cook for another 5 minutes.
I did 12 and enough turned out to be pretty and
some were just for eating if you know what I mean. Next time I'd double the quantities and fill
the wrappers right up. I might also
experiment with not precooking the wrappers – while there's a risk of them
getting soggy they would keep a better shape.
Simple tasty food with ingredients already on hand.
Great idea for a quick snack and for using up extra wrappers.
ReplyDeleteTasty pupus, as we would call them.

ReplyDeleteYou have the best suggestions. I could eat a dozen of those bad boys.
