Prawn in Pumpkin Stew
This easy dish is worth getting into a stew over
Supplies
- 1 Medium pumpkin
- 400 milliliters Coconut Milk
- 200 grams Prawns
- Fresh Coriander
- 1 Red Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Desiccated Coconut
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 small red chilli
- 400 grams chopped tomato
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 fish stock cube
- 2 shallots or 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Steps
- Preheat oven to 150C and carve a hole out at the top of the pumpkin and scrape out seeds (easier than it sounds.) Sprinkle a bit of salt the inside of the pumpkin then pop pumpkin in oven.
- Dice the shallots and finely chop the garlic and add to a large pot or wok with coconut oil on a low heat until the shallots are see through.
- Slice the red pepper into long strips and add to the pan along with the prawns and paprika. Give a good stir, and cook until the red pepper goes soft and prawns are about 1/2 way cooked. (If you got cooked prawns then add them into the next step instead.)
- Turn up heat to medium and add the coconut milk, tomatoes, fish stock cube, desiccated coconut, chilli, bay leaf and honey. Then simmer on low heat for around 25-30 minutes.
- Remove pumpkin from oven, turn up oven to 200C add the stew to the pumpkin and then replace pumpkin in oven for further 10 minutes.
- Garnish with coriander.
