- 4 Aviko Gratins Cream & Cheese
- 250 ml whipped cream
- 1 tbs Pazazas spice mix or smoked paprika
- 1 clove of garlic
- 12 padrón peppers
- 8 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 24 small Spanish meatballs (albondigas)
- 24 peeled, raw prawns in garlic marinade
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 1 tsp honey
- 25 g mixed baby salad leaves
- Skewer
Preparation method
Ca. 30 minutes + 25 minutes oven
- Heat the cream together with the Mallorcan spice mix to make a cream sauce. Grate or chop the garlic finely and add it to the sauce. Reduce the mixture to form a slightly thickened yellow-orange creamy sauce. Add salt to taste. Keep the sauce warm or allow to cool for reheating later.
- Prepare the gratins in accordance with the instructions on the packaging.
- Heat the grill pan. Mix the padrón peppers with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill them for approximately 5 minutes, until just done and beginning to blacken.
- Thread a combination of 2 meatballs, 2 prawns and one padrón pepper onto each skewer. Brush the skewers with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and grill them for a further 5 minutes in the grill pan. Turn them occasionally.
- Beat together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice and the honey to form a dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place a gratin on each of the 4 plates. Insert 3 pinchos in each gratin. Arrange the salad in the centre of the pinchos and drizzle with the dressing. Spoon the Mallorcan cream sauce around the gratins.
Tip: This dish is also ideal as a shared dining dish. Simply make a larger amount, depending on the number of persons.
