Dijon and tarragon Prawn Pilaf

This French Pilaf leans on dijon and tarragon to do the heavy lifting. We glaze the Prawn for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Dijon and tarragon Prawn Pilaf
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the dijon and tarragon 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. Reduce the glaze until sticky, then turn to coat everything in a glossy lacquer.

Stir in the dijon mustard and the rest of the dijon and tarragon flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

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

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