Antipastino fresco e leggero |
Ingr. per 4 persone (12 involtini circa)
2 melanzane grandi
250 gr. cuscus a grana media (io ho usato l’Agnesi)
500 ml acqua
300 gr pomodorini
300 gr. code di gambero surgelate
½ tazza prezzemolo tritato
2 spicchi di aglio tritato
1 cucchiaio di aceto
1 scalogno tritato
3 cucchiai di olio
Sale
Pepe
1 cucchiaino spezie miste per cuscus (oppure pepe,
COME PROCEDERE:
Tagliate le melanzane a fette spesse e poi fatele grigliare.
Mettete da parte.
Lavate i pomodorini , incideteli sulla base con un taglio a
croce e poi tuffateli in acqua bollente facendoli cuocere 2 minuti.
Trasferiteli in una ciotola con acqua ghiacciata e poi spellateli uno alla volta. Tagliateli a spicchietti e
poi metteteli in colino a perdere l’acqua in eccesso. Poneteli infine in una
ciotola insieme all’aglio tritato e mettete da parte.
Gettate le code di gambero in acqua bollente salata alla
quale avrete aggiunto un pizzico di sale e 1 cucchiaio di aceto. Lasciate
cuocere per 3 minuti, poi scolateli e privateli del guscio e del filetto nero
che rappresenta l’intestino. Tagliatele
in 3-4 pezzetti e mettete da parte.
Preparate il cuscus: In una pentola versate l’acqua, salate
e portate a bollore. Togliete dal fuoco ed aggiungete il cuscus. Lasciate
gonfiare per 2 minuti poi riaccendete il fuoco (moderato) e mescolate
delicatamente per altri 2 minuti. Mettete da parte.
In una padella mettete lo scalogno a soffriggere, unite poi
i gamberi e mescolate bene. A fuoco spento aggiungete anche il cuscus, i
pomodorini con l’aglio, il prezzemolo e le spezie, controllate di sale e mescolate bene. Con il composto andate a riempire le fettine di melanzana
grigliate. Chiudete con uno stuzzicadenti e disponete (verticalmente) gli involtini ottenuti in un piatto da portata facendo in modo che
nell’apertura si intraveda un pezzetto di pomodorino e un pezzetto di gambero.
