Coconut salads in coconut houses!




This has to be tried, absolutely deliecious and looks really impressive.

Ingredients
Coconut
Homemade Chilli jam (sweet chilli dipping sauce will suffice)
Mixed salad
Strips of chicken (optional)


Method

Firstly crack the coconut on the floor!! In a perfect world! You want not to break anything! Or smash the coconut so hard it smashes into a million pieces! It should crack into 2 rather easily!!!!

From this remove the soft white flesh from the inside using a knife or spoon, it should come away from the shell relatively easily.

Then using a vegetable peeler shave off small slithers of coconut and place in bowl.


This does take a bit of patience and is quite hard work! But its worth it! Keep going......

Once you have as much of  the coconut shaved as you can get from it add the salad, chilli jam and chicken to the bowl, stir around until everything is lightly coated. Don’t overdo it with the chilli jam as it can take over and make it to sickly.

Then arrange back in the shells for a nice touch.

I stood mine in 2 small pots to keep them balanced but they can go in a large bowel or on each individual plate to serve.
