Prawn Toast in sumac and onion

This Middle Eastern Toast leans on sumac and onion to do the heavy lifting. We stir-fry the Prawn for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the sumac and onion 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. Stir-fry over the highest heat, keeping everything moving, until just cooked and glossy.

Stir in the chickpeas and the rest of the sumac and onion 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.

Finish with the chopped mint and serve while hot.

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