Description

Edible basket’s and nest’s made to entertain for appetisers always interest’s me as it’s easy to pull of with no high end technique required giving a final product that always had your guests and loved ones with a surprise element. I come across this recipe in a foodie group in face book that was so easy and yet innovative. The process was so similar to the potato baskets once I tried making and it ended up a utter flop show. Me being a bit nervous about this , went ahead and gave it a try. I tried by pressing the spring roll sheets in the wire mesh strainer with a pastel as demanded in the recipe but that did not work out for me. So the next basket I tried the same using a round steel spatula. The results were pitch perfect. Stored these baskets in an air tight container and served them in style. The crispy exterior and the spicy mince filling was a match made in heaven. I did share a few with my neighbour. I get a phone call immediately with a recipe please which means this snack idea is for keeps.

Method for baskets

  • Cut each spring roll sheet into four equal squares. Place three squares diagonally in a cross cross pattern one over the other.
  • Place the three stacked up spring roll cross cross sheets into a steel strainer. Press down with the steel ladle. Insert it into hot oil and deep fry to golden and crispy . Drain and store in airtight containers.
