Feta and mint Prawn Medley

This Mediterranean Medley leans on feta and mint to do the heavy lifting. We steam the Prawn for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the feta and mint 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. Steam over simmering water until just tender and vibrant, then dress while warm.

Stir in the lemon and the rest of the feta and mint flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the asparagus 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.
