Prawns with Chickpeas and Chermoula

I made some Chermoula and the next night I discovered this recipe.  

You need for 4 hungry Fashionistas , 2 men and 1 big fat banker…

6 tabs extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic

1 small red capsicum,
1 small green capsicum, 
20 large green (raw) king prawns
1 small red chilli, finely chopped
2 teasp chermoula
2 x 400g cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tabs coriander, coarsely chopped
2 tabs flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
1/4 preserved lemon rind, chopped
Salt and cracked black pepper

 

 

 

 

 

  • Open a big fat bottle of wine
  • Slip into a Pucci Kaftan
  • Gulp down wine
  • Find Chermoula
  • Chop up the capsicum as small as your share portfolio. Not so big
  • Chop up and sqish the preserved lemon
  • Chop up garlic as the size of your old diamond ring
  • Chop chillli as small as Jessica Simpson’s brain
  • Chop parsley and coriander into the size of Balenicaga stiletto

  • Heat up the 2 tabs of daggy old olive oil in a large frying pan
  • Toss in garlic and capsicum for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add prawns, chilli and the chermoula and cook until prawns just change colour into a gorgeous creamy white.
  • Open the cans of chickpeas. Boy they do look sad.
  • Throw in chickpeas and cook it all for a couple minutes to heat them through  
  • Now turn off the heat and throw in the accessories: the pretty green coriander, parsley and preserved lemon.
  • drizzle with your snazzy designer olive oil and serve with crusty bread.
