Garides Saganaki

Seafood · Greek classic.

Ingredients

• 500g Raw king prawns
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Chopped onion
• pinch Freshly chopped parsley
• 250ml White wine
• 1 (400g) tin Chopped tomatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 (200g) pack Cubed Feta cheese

Method

1. Add ingredients — Place the prawns in a pot and add enough water to cover.
2. Bring to a boil — Boil for 5 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid, and set aside.
3. Stir — Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan. Add the onion; cook and stir until soft.
4. Mix together — Mix in the parsley, wine, tomatoes, garlic and remaining olive oil.
5. Simmer — Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
6. Simmer — While the sauce is simmering, the prawns should become cool enough to handle.
7. Continue cooking — First remove the legs by pinching them, and then pull off the shells, leaving the head and tail on.
8. Stir — When the sauce has thickened, stir in the prawns.
9. Simmer — Bring to a simmer again if the sauce has cooled with the prawns, and cook for about 5 minutes.
10. Heat the pan — Add the feta and remove from the heat. Let stand until the cheese starts to melt.
11. Serve — Serve warm with slices of crusty bread. Though completely untraditional, you can add a few tablespoons of stock or passata to this recipe to make a delicious pasta sauce.
12. Serve — Toss with pasta after adding the feta, and serve.
