Prawns With Minted Peas And Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the onions, garlic, chilli, and red pepper with a little olive oil.
• Add the chorizo after a minute.
• Stir in the turmeric, salt, pepper, and long grain rice.
• Pour in the water and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the peas and prawns until prawns are pink and no longer translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook peas in boiling stock or water. Don't waste pods, you can place them in the stock after the peas are cooked to infuse their fantastic delicate flavor. Use this stock as part of the stock/water for the risotto. At the end of Stage 3 in the basic risotto recipe, add the prawns and peas and simmer for 1 minute as prawns take no time to cook. At Stage 4 of the risotto recipe throw in the fresh herbs and squeeze the lemon juice. Stir and serve immediately. Drizzle with good peppery olive oil.;
• Stage 1. Heat stock. In a separate pan heat the olive oil, add the shallots or onion, garlic and celery and slowly fry for about 3 minutes. When the vegetables have softened, add the rice, season with salt and pepper and turn up the heat. Stage 2. The rice will now begin to fry, so keep stirring it. After a minute it will look slightly translucent having absorbed all the flavors from the vegetables. Add the vermouth or wine and keep stirring -- it will smell fantastic as it sizzles around the rice. Any harsh alcohol flavors will evaporate and leave the rice with a tasty essence. Stage 3. Once the vermouth or wine has cooked into the rice, add your first ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of salt. Turn down the heat to a highish simmer so the rice doesn't cook too quickly on the outside. Keep adding ladles of stock, stirring and allowing each ladle of liquid to be absorbed before adding the next. This will take around 15 minutes. Taste the rice -- is it cooked? Carry on adding stock until the rice is soft but with a slight bite. Don't forget to carefully check the seasoning. Stage 4. Remove from the heat and add the butter and Parmesan, if using. Stir gently. Place lid on pan and allow to sit for 2 to 3 minutes. This is the most important part of making the risotto as this is when it becomes outrageously creamy and oozy like it should be. Eat as soon as possible while the risotto retains its perfect texture.

Steps:

• If using frozen prawns, start by letting them sit in a bowl of warm water.
• Cook rice according to packet instructions.
• While the rice cooks, shell and de-vein the prawns (if necessary).
• Split the leek lengthways, and then slice thinly.
• Tip the leeks into a colander, wash and shake dry.
• Pick the mint leaves off the stalks and finely shred, making about two tablespoonfuls.
• When the rice is nearly ready, melt 25g butter in a large frying pan and stir in the leeks and half the mint.
• Add the peas and chicken stock.
• Cook briskly for two or three minutes, until the peas are cooked but before all the stock has evaporated.
• Add the prawns and cook for two to three minutes until they are pink and cooked through.
• Stir in the rest of the mint.
• Adjust flavour to taste with salt, pepper, lemon juice and tabasco sauce, adding the knob of butter or a touch more water if it seems dry.
• Place the rice in a dish, put the prawn mixture on top and serve.

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan bring the water to a boil, stir in the rice, the oil, and the salt, and cook the mixture, covered, over low heat for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the peas, the mint, and the zest, and let the mixture stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Beat one of the eggs in a small bowl and salt lightly. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a small nonstick frying pan, and add the beaten egg. Swirl in the pan until the egg forms an even coat, like a thin pancake. When the egg is cooked through, roll up and slide onto a plate. Cut in thin strips (you can use a scissors or a knife). Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the remaining oil and swirl around the pan, then add the shrimp and cook about one minute, stirring and tossing with a spatula or wok scoop until just about cooked through and pink. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sherry, and stir everything together. When the sizzling stops, pour in the remaining beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, and add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Stir in white and lighter green parts of the scallions, the peas and the soy sauce. Stir together for about half a minute, and transfer to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle the egg strips, scallion greens and cilantro over the top. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Combine rice and 1 1/2 cups water in heavy-bottom saucepan, and bring to boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, cooking for a total of 17 minutes, until rice is tender and water has been absorbed.
• Wash, dry and chop mint.
• One to two minutes before rice is cooked, stir in peas and continue cooking. A few seconds before rice is done, stir in mint and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Tip the rice into a pan of boiling, salted water and simmer for 10 minutes, adding the peas for the last 3 minutes. Drain well.
• While the rice is cooking, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add the onion and bacon and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, until the onion starts to turn golden and the bacon begins to cook. Stir in the curry paste and cook for a few seconds, then tip in the prawns and heat them through for a minute or so.
• Push the prawn mixture to one side of the pan and add the drop of oil to the other side. Pour the egg into the oil, stir until cooked like scrambled eggs, then mix into the prawns. Add the rice and peas and mix well. Serve immediately, with soy sauce for sprinkling, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a wok, add the onion, garlic and chilli, and cook for 2-3 mins until golden. Add the prawns and cook for 1 min. Tip in the rice and peas, and keep tossing until very hot. Add the soy and fish sauce, then stir through the chopped coriander. Keep warm while you fry the eggs.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the eggs with some seasoning. Divide the fried rice mix between 4 bowls and top each with a fried egg. Serve scattered with coriander, with chilli sauce, if you like.

Steps:

• Put the rice in a saucepan with 600ml water. Bring to boil, cover, then simmer for 10 mins or until almost all the water has gone. Leave off the heat, covered, for 5 mins more.
• Heat the oil in wok or large frying pan. Add the garlic and chilli, then cook for 10 secs - making sure not to let it burn. Throw in the cooked rice, stir fry for 1 min, then push to the side of the pan. Pour the eggs into the empty side of the pan, then scramble them, stirring. Once just set, stir the peas and spring onions into the rice and egg, then cook for 2 mins until the peas are tender. Add the prawns and soy sauce, heat through, then serve with extra soy sauce on the side, if you like.
