Cooking Together Cooking Together Recipes

Our cooking together cookery classes are as much about learning to cook as they are a sociable experience. We hope you enjoyed your class and are ready to recreate the meals at home. 

We Cooked:

Starter

King Prawns with Cherry Tomatoes, Pesto and Padina Bread

Ingredients: Serves 2

  • Handful of king prawns (6-8)
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 clove of garlic, chopped or grated
  • A splash of red wine
  • 1/2 can of chopped tomatoes
  • A handful of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • A handful of chopped parsley
  • 1 bulb of mozzarella, ripped into chunks
  • cooking oil
  • seasoning
To serve: 2 tbsp of pesto, Piadina bread 

 

Method:

  1. Add a splash of oil to a frying pan and heat up on medium-high heat.
  2. Saute king prawns until they change colour on both sides, remove them from the pan and rest on the side- they don’t need to be super well done at this stage, we will be finishing them in the sauce soon.
  3. Add another splash of oil and start sautéing the onion and garlic until golden. Don’t worry about any caramelised prawn bits, that’s all extra flavour. 
  4. Next, deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce it down until thick, this will get rid of the alcohol while remaining the depth of flavour.
  5. Add both fresh and tinned tomatoes, season and cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat
  6. Add prawns back to the sauce to warm up, and serve with of piadina bread topped with mozzarella, herbs and pesto.

Piadina Bread

These rustic flatbreads are popular across Italy.  We will serve our prawns on the breads folded over like a kebab.
Ingredients:

Makes lots, depending on how large you make them.  This will make at least 6-8

  • 500g of plain flour
  • 220 ml of water at room temperature
  • 80 ml of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of fine salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

Method:

  1. First place the flour in a bowl with the baking soda and salt. Mix well. Then add the oil.
  2. Now add the water at room temperature. Mix everything for a few minutes until you get a soft but compact dough. If the dough sticks to your fingers, add a sprinkling of flour again. Piadina dough must be soft but not sticky.
  3. Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then divide the dough into portions
  4. Work them a little with your hand on the work surface in order to have balls with a smooth surface and let them rest for another 10 minutes covered with a kitchen towel.
  5. Roll out each ball with the help of a rolling pin, forming a disc with a thickness of approx. 5 mm and a diameter of about 20cm.
  6. Don’t worry if they are not perfectly round.
  7. While cooking a Piadina, keep the other raw dough covered with a cloth. This is to prevent the dough from drying out.
  8. Cook the breads one at a time in a preheated non-stick pan. Turn after a minute or when bubbles form. Repeat twice, pricking occasionally with a fork.
  9. Once slightly golden with characteristic small dark spots have appeared on the surface.
  10. Arrange them one on top of the other covered with a cloth that will help keep them warm.
