¾ cup dry white wine	2 tbsps finely chopped parsley
4 tbsps extra virgin olive oil	Salt and pepper
2 onions, finely sliced	6 oz greek feta cheese, crumbled

Strain the cooking liquid for the prawns and return to the pan. Add the olive oil, onions and garlic. Cook over a medium heat, stirring, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Add the tomatoes and parsley. Simmer covered for 10 mins, then uncovered for 20-30 mins until you have a thick sauce.
Add the shelled prawns, mix well and season. Divide between 4 shallow dishes and sprinkle with the feta.
Preheat oven to 220C Gas 7. When hot, bake the prawns for about 15 mins until the feta has melted and begun to brown.
