A Caribbean recipe from Rosamund Grant’s ” Caribbean and African Cookery” 1989. I very much enjoyed going to her restaurant Bambaya in North London in the 1980’s and brought this recipe book for a good friend Steve , but somehow ended up with the copy in my own collection….
Ingredients
- 450 g raw peeled prawns
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 plump cloves garlic peeled and crushed
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
- 40 g butter
- 1 large onion peeled and finely chopped
- 675 g fresh spinach chopped
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- finely chopped chilli to taste
- a grate nutmeg
- 2 tsps creamed coconut
Servings:
Instructions
- Marinate the prawns in the lemon juice, garlic, cumin and ginger for 1-2 hours. Cook the prawns in a little of the butter or margarine for a few minutes, stirring. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the prawn juices in the pan. Add the onions and the spinach and reduce on a moderate heat, covered. When partly reduced, crumble in the stock cube and stir.
- Add the chilli, nutmeg, creamed coconut and prawns. Mix well and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This goes well with coconut rice and a side salad.
