Avonmore Winter Fruit Pie.

Winter Fruit Pie

Recipe cooking time 8-10 People

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190˚C/170˚C fan/gas mark 5.
     
  2. Cook the figs in boiling water for five minutes. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
     
  3. Slice each fig in four and place in a large bowl with the rest of the fruit. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cornflour, then add to the fruit and toss to coat.
     
  4. To make the topping, mix the flour, brown sugar, walnuts, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Work the butter in with your hands until it resembles fine crumbs.
     
  5. Transfer the filling to a 9 x 13-inch pie dish and top with the walnut crumb. Bake in the lower third of the oven for 60-75 minutes, until the crumb is golden, the juices are bubbling around the edges and the fruit is tender when pierced with a skewer. If the crumb begins to get too dark towards the end, cover it with tin foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing, then serve with custard.

Ingredients

  • 150g dried figs, stems removed
  • 240ml boiling water
  • 4 small apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1cm thick

Neven’s Smoked Salmon & Prawn Linguini

lowressalmon_prawn_linguine_branded_12-266x266

Neven Maguire’s Avonmore Cooking Cream Collection

Ingredients

  • 250g linguini (good quality)
  • 250ml Avonmore Cooking Cream
  • 6 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra to garnish
  • 150g sliced smoked salmon, thinly sliced into long strips (good quality)
  • 150g prawns , peeled & cooked
  • 4 tbsp torn fresh basil, plus extra to garnish
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Cook the linguini in a large pan of boiling salted water – the bigger the pan the less chance of sticking and it is a good idea to give this type of pasta a stir occasionally. This can take between 3-5 minutes from boiling – check with the packet instructions, they all vary.
  2. Pour the cream into a pan and bring to the boil, then boil for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, then season with pepper. The heat of the cream should melt the cheese.
  3. Drain the pasta and toss with the Parmesan cream, finally fold in the smoked salmon and prawns and basil until well combined. Divide among warmed pasta bowls and garnish with the remaining Parmesan and basil. Give each one a good grinding of black pepper and serve immediately.
