Posted: Thu Dec 31, 20 9:46 am Post subject: ultimate prawn cocktail,saffron and coconut sauce |
|
per portion
generous tablespoonful of good coconut yogurt( dairy might work but this is better )at fridge temp
pinch of salt
3 strands of good saffron
put that in a small but heavy bowl and stir with a metal spoon every 15 mins over a couple of hours at room temp
break up the strands as they soften with the spoon as you do each mixing,
the gentle warming and mixing alters the texture as well as blending it all together
after a couple of hours it should be evenly saffron colour evenly and far "creamier" than it was in the yogurt pot
not quite like beating cream but a little similar, good stirring rather than beating might describe how vigorous it should be
the slow warming to room temp during the mix and rest process might be a factor in making the sauce "creamy"
a handful of decent prawns*, frozen in glaze and defrosted and dried with a towel or fresh
a teaspoonful of coconut oil
warm pan to medium, add prawns, stir until warmed, plate up
*if using cooked prawns reduce cooking time to a minimum, if raw cook til pink/white but do not overcook
service is diy rather than plop in a bowl
warm flatbread, cos lettuce, blob of sauce, pile of prawns on a plate so a fork or fingers are needed
probably works with very fresh crab as well
ps maryrose sauce(mayo and tom ketchup ) is traditional like benny hill and bernard manning are traditional, but it aint pretty |
