Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 This makes a nice after dish Wanton pie First ace the base: Dates and almonds are best for the base, sunflower seeds are good too, although other nuts and seeds can be added; Topping/Filling: Various fruits for the filling, with avocado (mash the avocado separate) and banana being great staples for this. Also pear, apple, mango, cherimoya (if you are lucky enough to have them available), and so on. some black cherries go down well. Fun with the Decoration: Fruits that are ‘Sexy’ either sliced or whole to place on the surface (kiwi, apple, orange, strawberry, grapes, raspberries, etc.) Mince and mix the dates and almonds (preferably soaked in some sherry beforehand) in either a hand mincer or a food processor; various other nuts and seeds can be added, such as sunflower, hemp, walnuts, linseed, etc. This creates a sticky base that is then pressed firmly into a dish (very lightly running over the dish with avocado or cold pressed olive oil before will help when trying to lift this sticky base out when serving it!). Blend or mash the fruit filling but mash the avocado alone with a little lemon juice and keep it separate. Finely ground linseed, mixed in, will help to thicken up the filling (and will help bind the base too), but it is not essential. Pour the fruit mix into the base first, then spread the mashed avocado layer on top of it. Slice the ‘sexy fruits finely and lay them on top of the fruit filling to finish off; one or several carefully placed flowers will also add to the ‘wow’ factor when its brought on to the table. You might need to keep a second one hidden away just in case your life's in danger for not providing second helpings …! why do birds fly south for the winter? because its too far to walk...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I'm very curious about this recipe. I have an idea it's very attractive when served......Donna renaissanc242322 wrote: This makes a nice after dish Wanton pie First ace the base: Dates and almonds are best for the base, sunflower seeds are good too, although other nuts and seeds can be added; Topping/Filling: Various fruits for the filling, with avocado (mash the avocado separate) and banana being great staples for this.
