How to make A stuffed picnic

1) Preheat oven to 210C/Gas 7.

Cut the tops off apples and trim away skin of tops of apples, trim should be 1.5cm wide. Hollow out the apples with a small paring knife, carving out a cavity for the filling. Rub the tops and cavities with wedges of lemon to retard browning.

3) Combine Technique: Using Butter You could replace butter with Stork margarine. It's easy to use and comes in blocks, tubs and liquid for any kind of dish from sweet baking to savoury meals. I know this Tell me more butter , sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, nuts, flour and oatmeal in a bowl -- mixture should be crumbly -- and then pack into apples. Place apples in a shallow baking dish and add 1cm of water to the dish. Bake apples 17 to 20 mins, until filling bubbles and apples are tender but not soft. Remove from oven. Serve warm or room temperature.

I know this Teach me, please slice off the bottom of each tomato to stabilize it. Seed and hollow out the tomato with a spoon over garbage bowl. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper, then fill with salad, mounding the tuna up. The tomatoes are ready to serve or chill.

5) For courgettes, combine chick peas and next 4 ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cut each courgette in half lengthwise. Hollow out seeds, making room for filling, using a soup spoon. Fill courgette with chick pea and red pepper cheese using a rubber spatula. Cut the courgette into 5cm pieces.
