Greek inspired saganaki

Prawns with fresh tomato, oregano and feta 

Serves 2 as a Main course or 4 as a starter

12 large prawns or use 16 tiger prawns

3TBSP olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely sliced

50ml dry white wine

2 large vine tomatoes, peeled and roughly chopped

100g feta cheese broken into pieces

Fresh oregano

A little crunchy salt

 

Peel the prawns but leave the heads and tails intact. With a small paring knife, make a slit from head to tail and remove the digestive tract from each one.

 

Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion until soft. Next, add the garlic and cook until you can smell its nutty aroma.

Add the prawns and cook until they turn pink.

Slosh in the wine, then the chopped tomato, and cook for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

Throw in the feta, followed by the oregano and twiddle with a wooden spoon until the cheese begins to melt into the sauce.

Take off the heat, blow over some extra fresh oregano and eat with chunks of that day’s bread.
