Feta topped roasted prawns with aubergine and tomato

Category : Main Course, Seafood

I am a big fan of any meal that is simple to cook, leaves minimal washing up and tastes like you’ve spent a lot more time on it than you have. So this meal is one of my stand by after work dinners but also a great starter at a dinner party.

This is adapted from a Real Simple recipe that I found through the oh-so-addictive Pinterest. I played with the quantities and added some aubergine to the mix. This would serve four with a side of cous-cous or rice, or even pasta. However I am ashamed to admit that Doug and I scoffed the entire amount with doorstep style slabs of bread in just one meal. We just couldn’t resist. In fact, when I realised Doug was going back for seconds I jumped up from my seat to make sure he left some for me.

  • 5 tomatoes
  • olive oil
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 aubergine
  • 350g raw prawns (medium to large sized)
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 tbsps lemon juice
  • 1 packet of feta
Heat your oven to around 230 degrees C (fan assisted) or 450 degrees F. Cut the tomatoes into eight pieces and the aubergine into small cubes, place in a baking tray and drizzle olive oil and garlic over the top. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top as well and then pop into the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in the raw prawns, lemon juice and parsley. Then sprinkle crumbled feta all over the top and return to the oven for 15 minutes (less if you think the prawns are cooked through before).
Serve in a bowl and make sure to include some of the juice. Serve with something to soak up the delicious juices (like the aforementioned doorstep slabs of bread), stuff yourself stupid and then lie back thoroughly contented that your delicious dinner took so little effort….
