White Bean Prawn Saganaki

This dish is from my cookbook Dr Rupy COOKS. The sauce is simple to make, but the flavours are intense, sweet and spicy. The caraway and nigella seeds... lend an undertone of earthy flavours with the hum of garlic and kick of red chilli to counter. The greens and beans pack this with more vegetables, but the sauce is full of the good stuff too. You can easily make this vegetarian by simply substituting the prawns with more beans that have plenty of protein. Read more This dish is from my cookbook Dr Rupy COOKS.

Notes

For a smoother sauce, blend the chilli, garlic and onion in a small processor before cooking.

For even more flavour, toast the caraway and nigella seeds for 1-2 minutes and crush in a pestle and mortar before adding.

Great recipe used tinned tomatoes as didnโ€™t have fresh but worked well, will definitely cook again.

I have done this recipe a few times and is one of my favourites. Lovely flavours of Greece.

Alexandra 4 months ago

For 5 people I used 2 tins of chopped tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes just for speed/ease. It worked fine and was a big hit with my children.

Sonia 5 months ago

This was a real speedy mid week meal, didnโ€™t have nigella seeds or basil and used spinach but it was really tasty and filling, another hit ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
