Prawns with bagna cauda

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

32 Woolworths freshly frozen uncooked extra large black tiger prawns, thawed and cleaned
2 T olive oil

For the bagna cauda:

1 cup olive oil
8 T butter
16 anchovy fillets
4 cloves garlic, chopped
16 black olives (pitted)

For the creamy dill cucumbers, mix:

2 cloves garlic, minced
20 g dill, chopped
1 t lemon zest
2 cucumbers, roughly chopped
2 cups plain yoghurt
salt, to taste

Method

1. Fry the prawns in batches in the oil – it’s okay if they char a bit; this adds flavour and colour.

2. To make the bagna cauda, blend all the ingredients, then bring to a simmer in a saucepan. Season to taste.

3. To serve, place the prawns on a platter, drizzle over the bagna cauda and serve with the cucumbers.
