Course: Starter
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 2 slices Sourdough thickly sliced
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil to drizzle
  • 1 clove Garlic peeled
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil for cooking
  • 120 g King prawns deveined
  • 1 Banana Shallot peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp White wine
  • 30 g Sun blushed tomatoes about 6 finely chopped
  • 200 g Chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 tsp Chilli flakes to taste
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 5 g Fresh parsley 1 tbsp, chopped
  • Cracked black pepper to taste

Method

  • Drizzle a little olive oil over the bread and toast in a pan until lightly browned. Remove from the pan to cool.
  • Rub the garlic all over the sourdough until only half remains. Thinly slice the remaining garlic.
  • In the same pan, heat vegetable oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, stirring often so it doesn’t colour.
  • Stir in the remaining garlic and fry for a couple of minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the prawns and cook for one minutes per side, ensuring that they don’t overlap.
  • Pour in the wine, increase the heat to medium-high and allow it to evaporate.
  • Add the tomatoes and crushed chilli. Lower the heat, cover and cook until the tomatoes have fallen apart and look saucy; add a splash of water if needed to help the sauce come together. Taste and season
  • Finish with chopped parsley and spoon onto the toasted sourdough.
  • Optional- finish with rocket, peashoots, avocado, or lemon.
