About

This is an impressive way of presenting a simple salad by filling crispy filo cones with chicken meat and serving them with a tangy orange salad. It makes a delightful starter or even a summer lunch, or you could make smaller cones and serve as stylish canapés.

Method

Cut a 25cm/10in circle out of thin card, roll into a cone shape and secure with staples to make a mould. Wrap the mould in kitchen foil, then remove the card and repeat to make three more foil cones.

Slice off the top and bottom of the oranges, then peel from top to bottom, using a small, sharp knife, to remove all the skin and the white pith, leaving you with the orange still in shape
