Steem Kitchen Recipe Contest 4: Week 1, Starters - Cucumber & Tuna Domes
There's a new cooking contest here on steemit, called Steem Kitchen Recipe Contest where you not only stand the chance of winning 100 SP for a week, but you also get to meet great people who give away their secret recipes here and you get to learn new tricks in the Steem Kitchen Master Baking Class.
As I come from a family of keen fishermen, seafood is my absolute favourite, especially in a starter, so I will share with you my recipe for Cucumber & Tuna Domes; a light, fresh and tangy starter, perfect to whet the appetite for the main course.
Ingredients required for four servings, prep time 30 minutes, setting time 30 minutes:
- 2 teaspoons Gelatine
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 can Tuna in oil
- 2 Spring Onions, finely chopped
- Lemon rind to taste
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Horseradish
- 1/4 cup Tartar Sauce
- Cucumber
- Radishes
Soften gelatine in water
Place tuna with oil into mixing bowl, add spring onions & lemon rind
Add Gelatine, Lemon Juice, Horseradish & Tartar Sauce.
Beat together with electric beater to mix well, spoon into sprayed molds to make individual Tuna Mousse. Place in refrigerator to set - about 30 minutes.
To prepare the base for your Tuna mousse, cut thin strips into side of Cucumber to reveal the white part, or score with a fork and slice fairly thick slices.
Prepare radishes for garnishing - make roses or pin wheels as below.
Assemble your starter - Cucumber slices as the base, Tuna Mousse lays on top, garnished with Radish.
A quick look at the whole process, I really hope you enjoyed my little Cucumber & Tuna Domes Starter!
