made this today, as a diabetic, I need healthy low in the bad carbs but filling !
The only thing I would change is to use more cheese, this is 3 separate process's
OK, first make the veggies. use 200g each of prepared baby carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.
1> add tblsp of salt to boiling water, add carrots, cook for 10 minutes, add cauliflower cook for 4 minutes, add broccoli cook for 4 minutes
2> Cover and switch off heat
3> Prepare prawns (use cooked and peeled prawns) rinse, dust with pepper, leave to drain on kitchen paper to soak water
4> Heat a frying pan till scorching hot, add a big knob of butter and then fry prawns, dust with paprika, don't over cook, several minutes is usually ok. move prawns to a pan over a hotplate setting to keep warm
5> go back to veggies, drain veggies, pour in 200g of garden peas, mix well, cover, let heat of pan continue to keep the veggies warm
6> Make a cheese sauce: to a saucepan add tbl of butter and tbl of flour, mix till it is a smooth paste, mix in a tsp of corn starch, mix in slowly 1 cup of milk, use full fat milk or if you have it cream. When all is mixed in, bring to a boil, then reduce to low and cook for 2 minutes, keep an eye and make sure it does not boil over. Add a cup of cheese (more if you prefer, use a cheese such as Cheddar)
7) Pour the cheese mixture of the veggies, pour the contents of the pan into a hot serving dish, garnish with bacon bits, croutons, some fine gratings a hard cheese, and finely chopped Coriander
8) pour the contents "prawns" from the hot plate including the gravy, into a hot serving dish, garnish with finely chopped Coriander
Done, serves, 3-4 people
