Toast Skagen
A refreshing but also indulgent entrée, this delicious Toast Skagen takes me back to warm Summer nights in Stockholm! Happy Friday!
Ingredients (serves 1):
1 heaped tablespoon Mayonnaise
1 fluffy sprig Garden Dill + a Dill flower, for garnish (optional)
1 thin slice red onion
1/2 teaspoon caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
half a dozen beautiful prawns, cooked (boiled or seamed) and cooled
a slice Soft White Bread
4 beautiful lettuce leaves, rinsed and dried
1/4 cucumber
1/2 small lemon
Spoon Mayonnaise in a small bowl.
Finely chop Garden Dill and red onion, and add to the Mayonnaise. Give a good stir until well-combined.
Then, stir in sugar and apple cider vinegar until well-blended. Set aside.
Peel the prawns and cut them into small chunks, saving one or two of the smallest whole.
Stir prawns into the Mayonnaise mixture, mixing well to coat evenly. Cover with cling film, and chill in the refrigerator, at least an hour.
Toast Soft White Bread, and allow to cool.
Arrange lettuce leaves onto serving plate.
Cut cucumber into thin slices and halve them.
Cut one or two very thin slices off the lemon halve.
Place toasted Soft White Bread slice onto the lettuce.
Top with prawn mixture, and garnish with a few cucumber slices, arranging the rest of them onto the lettuce, lemon slices, and Dill flower, if using.
Enjoy Toast Skagen immediately, with a glass of chilled dry white wine, like Chardonnay.
