Hearts of Palm and Radish Coins with Shrimp
My 3rd Christmas Recipe would be the Hearts of Palm and Radish Coins with Shrimp.
What is a Heart of Palm? It is the edible part of a palm tree. It is sometimes called the palm cabbage or swamp cabbage that is harvested from the inner core and growing bud of certain palm.
INGREDIENTS
3 to 4 hearts of palm(1 to 1 1/2 inches wide), rinsed and cut into 1/4 inch thick coins
2 tbsp plus 1/4 tsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Pinched of granulated sugar
Salt
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 tsp coriander seeds, toasted and coarsely ground in a mortar
1/4 tsp freshly grated lime zest
Pinched of cayenne
Freshly ground black pepper
48 small peeled, deveined, and cooked shrimp(71 to 90 or 100 to 150 per lb) or you can use bacon here if you are allergic with shrimp.
5 to 6 radishes(1 to 1 1/2 inches wide), sliced into 1/4 inch thick coins
24 fresh cillantro leaves for garnish (optional) or you can add mozzarella cheese
PROCEDURE
This appetizer is great if you cut the diameter of both hearts of palm and radish the same.
