“We always splash out with prawns on Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve. Bagna cauda is one of my favourite dressings and it’s a tasty combo with the prawns.” – Abigail Donnelly

Ingredients

  • 32 Woolworths freshly frozen uncooked 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 pitted black olives
  • For the creamy dill cucumbers, mix:
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 20 g dill, chopped
  • 1 t lemon zest
  • 2 medium cucumbers, roughly chopped
  • 2 cups plain yoghurt
  • salt, to taste

Cooking Instructions

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.
