Herb-heavy Prawn Tart with cumin and coriander

This Middle Eastern Tart leans on cumin and coriander to do the heavy lifting. We smoke 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 cumin and coriander 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. Cook low with a little smoke until burnished and infused, resting before slicing.

Stir in the tahini and the rest of the cumin and coriander flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the red onion along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently 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.
