Ham roll recipe
Thaw the shrimps at room temperature.
Warm up them in hot water (not boiling) for 1 minute over a very, very
low heat.
Drain them very well.
Meanwhile drain very well the assorted vegetables from their preservation water, after rinsing them.
Let the vegetables
drain for almost an hour to avoid some water forms in the final dish.
Drain very well the tuna in oil and crumble it with a fork.
Prepare the aspic jelly following the directions on the
package.
Remember to aromatize it with the vinegar.
Let it cool.
Meanwhile put the assorted vegetables, tuna and shrimps in a bowl.
Pour in the olive oil, season to taste with salt and
add the mayonnaise.
It's difficult to say what is the right quantity of mayonnaise: it depends on your taste.
The ideal
dose is enough to amalgamate all the ingredients (some tablespoons). Stir very well.
Spread every slice of boiled ham on the work surface.
Put a little of the assorted vegetable and shrimp mixture
on the end of the shorter side.
Roll up every slice tightly.
Arrange all the rolls in a large bowl.
Garnish with the
hard-boiled eggs, cut into slices and quarters.
Cover with the aspic jelly.
Chill until serving.
You need several
hours.
