Description
Most of these impressive starters can be prepared ahead, then it’s just a simple assembly job before serving.
Method
Step 1 of 5
Trim the tops and bases off the tomatoes (save them for stock) and slice each in half horizontally. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large, non-stick griddle or frying pan and fry the halves for 4-5 minutes each side, seasoning after turning, until cooked but not collapsing. Set aside. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper.
Step 2 of 5
Add 2 tbsp of the olive oil to the pan and fry the eggplant slices for 8-10 minutes each side, seasoning them after turning, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain them on kitchen paper.
Step 3 of 5
Dice the flesh of the avocados into small cubes and mix with the juice of 1/2 lemon, the basil, balsamic vinegar, and 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
Step 4 of 5
To assemble the towers, put an 8cm wide and 4 cm high metal ring in the middle of a plate and add a tomato half, squashing it in slightly. Add a spoonful of the avocado mix, then 2 slices of the eggplant and finally another spoonful of avocado. Season every layer lightly as you build the tower.
Step 5 of 5
When you are ready to serve, quickly pan-fry the prawns in the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil for 2-3 minutes, until they change colour to a vivid pink. Season them well and squeeze over the remaining 1 / 2 lemon. Top each tower with 5 prawns, nicely arranged, then carefully remove the ring to serve.
