Prawn and green bean stew
- Portion size: 2
- Hands-on time 15 min, Simmering time 35 min
- Difficulty: easy
Inspired by the two Greek dishes prawn saganaki (prawns baked in spicy tomato sauce) and fasolakia (a slow-cooked green bean stew), this dish is ripe for a summer evening. While it’s delicious eaten straightaway, any leftovers served cold the next day are fantastic, so feel free to double up on quantities.
Just wait until you try our prawn saganaki too.

Method
- Heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan over a low-medium heat, then add the sliced onions and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until soft, then add the oregano, green beans, new potatoes and tomatoes. Rinse out the tin with 200ml water, add that too, then simmer for 30 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Taste and season with salt, pepper and lemon zest and juice, then nestle the prawns into the top of the stew. Cover with a lid and cook for a further 5 minutes. Finish with the chopped dill and serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread (if you like).

Very tasty, but had to leave it cooking for double the amount of time, in doing so, I needed to add more water and some tomato puree. Next time I would par boil the potatoes
