Today I made this timbales for the second time, the main reason being that I had a lot of salmon in the fridge that needed to be eaten, but I realised that I didn't have any cucumbers and only a small amount of sour cream. So I adapted the recipe by increasing the amount of cream cheese and adding some Greek yoghurt into the mixture. I also used dill instead of coriander. Then, to served it, I had some homemade Bread & Butter Pickled Cucumbers in the fridge, so I added them to the recipe and it was absolutely delicious.
Ingredients
16 slices smoked salmon
16 cooked prawns, peeled and chopped
1 cup (250g) sour cream or creme fraiche
2 Tbsp cream cheese
2 Tbsp coriander or dill, chopped
1 Tbsp finely grated lemon zest
1 Lebanese cucumber
1 long red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
1/4 (60ml) olive oil
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar
Method
Method
Line four 125 ml ramekins or coffee cups with plastic wrap, leaving some overhanging.
Line each with 4 salmon slices, leaving enough overhanging to enclose.
Place the prawns, sour cream, cream cheese, coriander or dill and lemon zest in a food processor, season with salt and pepper and pulse to combine.
Fill the ramekins with the prawn mixture.
Cover with the overhanging salmon and enclose with the wrap. Chill for 4 hours until firm.
Meanwhile, use a peeler to shave long strips from the cucumber, turning as you go. Discard the seeds in the centre.
Place the chilli and oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the soy, vinegar and sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Season, cool slightly, then add the cucumber to the chilli dressing.
Cover and chill for 30 minutes to marinate.
