Our tested Stir-Fried Prawn Slaw: herb-heavy, generous, and balanced with za'atar. Serves 6 people with plenty to go around.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the za'atar 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 sumac and the rest of the za'atar flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the red onion 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.
