The ultimate appetiser for a perfect dinner
Seafood with fresh herbs, aromatic rice and a dash of heat, moulded to perfection by gelatine – if that isn’t the ultimate appetiser for a perfect dinner. A fusion of flavour that propels this dish into a class of its own and tastes just as good in late summer served as a light dinner as it will in autumn or during the upcoming holiday season served as a refined appetiser for sumptuous main dishes such as goose or turkey. The prawn-rice-terrine is figure friendly and, moreover, easy to prepare.
Prawns – what counts is their provenance
The ingredients of the terrine are only cooked briefly and served cold. This preserves the vitamins and lets each flavour make a statement of its own. However, this makes it crucial to use only the best ingredients. Be sure to buy organic prawns because these are guaranteed to taste great and be free of residues. This is also true for the smoked salmon. The fresher, the better – you will taste the difference.
Basmati rice
In Indian, basmati means fragrance – which is justly deserved because this refined rice exudes a fragrance very like jasmine. Basmati rice is cultivated on very special rice plantations at the foot of the Himalayas. This favourite among the rice varieties has particularly long grains and is especially aromatic. It adds a special note to the terrine, blending in delightfully with the flavours of the lime zest and soy sauce and giving the dish an Asian touch.
