Starters are an important part of any meal as they set the scene for the culinary delights to come, and get the appetite going! You've submitted some real corkers - all well worth a look!
Inspired by the discussion about jellied salad and prawn cocktail in the thread 'Food Fads'. I realized that the jelly in question is aspic. So I've separated the usual sauce into a firm base and a clear spicy aspic to hold the prawns and lettuce.
This a wonderful hearty warming Halloweenwinter soup. It is a superb way of using up the flesh from hollowed out pumpkins at Halloween. Serves 4 to 6 people.
I sort of made this up as I went along, and served these quantities for six as a starter. Both times the guests raved about it. Have to say, it is very tasty!
Very fast and delicious! A lot of people make this dish in Portugal! sorry that I don't know the quantities but I never measure it. For the both of us I use half of pack of soup.
