Methods and Directions

Lobster and Parrot Fish Patties
  • Cut the banana leaves into 30cm x 30cm squares and run under an open flame to soften it (you will need 12 pieces).
  • Use a large shape knife to finely chop the lobster or prawn meat and fish (do not use a food processor as this will make the mousse rubbery).
  • Add garlic, ginger, eschallot and chilli and use your hands to stir until just combined.
  • Add egg and stir until well combined.
  • Set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
  • Preheat oven to 230°C.
  • Place pizza stone or oven tray in oven to preheat.
  • Place 100g of the fish mixture into the centre of 2 oiled banana leaves.
  • Fold sides over to enclose filling and secure with kitchen string.
  • Repeat with remaining fish mixture and banana leaves to make 6 parcels.
  • Cook parcels on pizza stone for 5 minutes.
  • Turn parcels and cook for a further 5 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, combine the carrot, paw paw, chilli and lime juice in a medium bowl.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place parcels on serving plates with carrot salad.
  • Serve immediately with lime wedges, if desired.
Dilmah Ceylon Green Tea Crisps
