Ingredients
- 1 x 375g pack Carême All Butter Puff Pastry, defrosted
- 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup (100g) whole egg mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon wasabi
- ½ teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 36 cooked peeled prawns
- 2 tablespoon pink pickled ginger, sliced
- snow pea shoots, trimmed, to garnish
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Cut six 10cm rounds (or squares) from pastry and place on prepared baking tray. Using an 8cm cutter score part-way through pastry to form a 1cm border, dock (prick) the centre circle with a fork and brush all over with egg yolk. Place in freezer for 10 minutes or until firm.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, until puffed and pale golden.
- Remove from oven, using a small serrated knife cut centre top layers of pastry and discard.
- Return vol-au-vents to oven and bake for a further 10 minutes or until dark golden.
- Remove from oven, place on wire rack and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, wasabi, zest and juice together, mixing until well combined. Set aside until required.
- To serve, add the prawns to the mayonnaise mixture, stirring until well coated. Spoon six prawns into each vol-au-vaunt, top with pink ginger and garnish with snow pea shoots.
