GUACAMOLE WITH CORN CHIPS
SERVES 4 10 MINS
– 2 avocados, halved and de-stoned
– 100g Greek yogurt
– 4 spring onions, finely chopped
– ½ green chilli, finely chopped
– a handful of coriander leaves, finely chopped – juice of 1 lime
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– a pinch of paprika – corn chips
To make the guacamole, mash the avocados into a smooth paste. I like to leave a little texture.
Mix in the yogurt, spring onions, chilli, coriander, lime juice and a good pinch of salt. Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle over the olive oil and garnish with a pinch of paprika.
Serve immediately with corn chips for dipping.
SERVES 4
– 350g peeled raw king prawns
– juice of 1½ limes, plus extra to serve
– 5 tbsp chipotle chilli paste
– 120g mayonnaise
– 100g ripe mango, finely chopped
– ½ red chilli, finely chopped
– 2 handfuls of coriander leaves, finely chopped
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 8 small soft corn tacos – 250g red cabbage, shredded
Put the prawns in a bowl and add the juice of half a lime, three tablespoons of chipotle chilli paste and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set to one side while you prepare the sides.
Put the mayonnaise in a bowl and add the remaining chipotle paste, the juice of half a lime and a good pinch of salt. Mix well.
Chuck the mango into a serving bowl and add the chilli, half the coriander, the juice of half a lime and a pinch of salt. Toss together.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a mediumhigh heat and add the prawns. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a serving bowl. Reduce the juices in the pan for 1-2 minutes, then pour over the prawns.
To serve, put the tacos, cabbage, prawns, mayonnaise, mango salsa, limes and remaining coriander into bowls so that everyone can tuck in. I like to spread some of the mayo on to a taco, then top with red cabbage, prawns, mango, more mayo, coriander and a squeeze of lime. Heaven.
