Ingredients
- 4 fat cloves of garlic, minced (12p)
- 1 onion, sliced finely (9p)
- 2 tbsp oil (6p)
- 200g peppers, sliced (40p)
- 1 red chilli, sliced (9p)
- 2 rounded tbsp flour (6p)
- 1 level tbsp paprika (10p)
- 500ml chicken stock (2p)
- 1 tbsp mixed dried herbs (10p)
- 400g chopped tomatoes (31p)
- 300g prawns (£2.25)
- Fistful of parsley (20p)
- Salt and black pepper (2p)
Cooking Procedure
- Saute the garlic and onion in the oil on a medium heat for a few minutes.
- Add the peppers and chilli and cook low and slow until it all start to soften.
- Add the flour and paprika, and stir quickly to make a rough paste.
- Add a little splash of stock to loosen, and beat to smooth out any lumps.
- Repeat, adding enough stock to thin to a gravy consistency.
- The sauce will thicken as it heats, so don't worry if you have a lot of stock left – you can add it later.
- Stir in the mixed herbs, then add the tomatoes.
- Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, then leave for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the prawns and heat through.
- Remove from the heat, add the parsley and generously season and serve with rice.
