Fresh Prawns with Baked Tomato

Another Bob's Kitchen recipe for lazy people...

An appetizer for two to share.









Ingredients:
1) One large tomato - as big as a small Chinese bowl
2) few cloves of garlic (forget peeling the skin or cutting - we are lazy people)
3) 5 to 6 pieces of fresh prawn - quantity depends on the size of the prawn. The prawns got to fit into the tomato.
4) Olive oil
5) Salt

Time to prepare: 10 to 15 minutes

How do we do it?
1) Slice to top part of the tomato.
2) Dig out the content of the tomato leaving the skin which mirror a bowl - while digging the contents, careful not to destroy to outer part of the tomato. (Don't throw the content! - we need it later)
3) Pinch of salt on the heated frying pan.
4) Add olive oil to mix the salt.
5) Add a few clove of garlic and lower down the fire/ heat.
6) Put the tomato 'bowl' in the oven and baked it for 7 to 8 minutes (180 degrees Celsius).
7) Once the garlic turn golden brown add the contents of the tomato onto the frying pan.
8) Stir fry it for a while until it turned into puree like and then add the fresh prawn.
9) Once the prawn is cooked, place the tomato puree and the prawn (with the garlic) into the just baked tomato 'bowl'.
10) Serve it to hot. - DONE!

Fresh Scallops with Garlic Sauce

Bob's Kitchen - recipe for lazy people...

If you want to impress but just too lazy, here are some way out for you.









Appetizer for two

Ingredients:

6 fresh scallops.
few cloves of garlic (maybe 5 or so) - forget chopping, it's just too much work!
olive oil
lettuce
balsamic vinegar
salt

Time to prepare: Should not take more than 15 minute.

How do you do it?

1) Throw a pinch of salt into the heated frying pan.
2) As the salt began to melt, pour some olive oil and let the salt mix with the olive oil
3) Throw in the cloves of garlic (if you are too lazy it is totally acceptable not to peel the skin of the garlic because the skin will give fragrance to the oil) - the garlic, olive oil and salt will season the scallops to taste.
4) As the garlic began to turn to golden brown, lower the fire/ heat.
6) Put the 6 scallops on to the frying plan, and occasionally turn to the other side until it is golden brown.
7) Meantime, cut some lettuces and mix it with balsamic vinegar (add a little sugar if it is too sour for you).
8) Garnish the the dish with your lettuces and place the freshly cooked scallops onto the plate

- DONE!
