Bright Prawn Grain Bowl with chipotle and honey
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the chipotle and honey elements, and pat the prawn dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the prawn. Fry until deeply crisp and golden, then drain on paper and season straight away.

Stir in the corn tortillas and the rest of the chipotle and honey flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the peas along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
