Instructions
• Thickly slice leek. • Drain sweetcorn. • Roughly chop baby leaves.
• In a medium bowl, combine mild Caribbean jerk seasoning (see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil. • Add peeled prawns and toss to coat.
• Boil the kettle. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain and return to the pan with the butter and chicken-style stock powder. Stir to combine.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Stir-fry leek until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add sweetcorn and cook until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Transfer veggies to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
• Stir baby leaves, cooked veggies, and a drizzle of white wine vinegar through pearl couscous. • Divide veggie couscous between bowls. Top with Caribbean jerk prawns. • Drizzle with mayonnaise and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
