Ingredients:
1 pound of big prawns
2 big chicken breasts
1 small can of crushed tomatoes ( natural, no additives )
1 small container of liquid cream ( medium )
olive oil
brandy
salt
sugar
Dice the chicken. Heat in a pan, with low fire, the olive oil. When the oil is hot, slowly fry the chicken, until it looks golden outside. When the chicken is halfway done, in a separate pan, add olive oil, and fry the tomato. Add to the tomato, salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar. When the tomato is half done, mix with it the prawns, and stir it. After 5 minutes, turn the fire off, add the brandy, and set it on fire (flamb驮 When the fire is over, put the prawns with the chicken, and add the cream. Cover the pan, and stir from time to time, adding salt if necessary. When you see that the cream is getting a little thick, then it?s ready.

Sweet and sour prawn curry:
Ingredients:
Prawns
1 tablespoon cooking/olive oil
1/2 small onions
1 green pepper
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon chopped ginger
Curry spice (tumeric, curry powder, bay leaves, chilli powder, vinegar, honey or fruit chutney)

Method:
Braise the chopped onions in oil and add a teaspoon curry spice.
Add the chopped green peppers, stir.
Stir in prawns for about 2 - 3 mins.
Add ginger and garlic, stir.
Mix half a cup (125mls vinegar) with one teaspoon turmeric, 1 tspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon honey or 2 tablespoons fruit chutney) and add to the mix. Don't forget the bay leaves.
Stir and cook for 10 mins.
Let it stand (perhaps overnight or a couple of hours) in refridgerator. Like most good curries its taste comes fully out when having been soaked in spice for hours.
Reheat and serve with naan bread or roties.
Enjoy! (Alternatively, you can do this with the mince )
Please note this recipe is a traditional Malay recipe which as probably originated in Malaysia and travelled to south africa where i was raised with lots of malay cuisine all around me. Have a nice time! Wisdom.

You could do a breast of chicken with a creamy, tomato sauce and add prawns into the sauce to cover the chicken. Mmmm! Sorry, I don't have an exact recipe.
Or you could do chicken and prawn fajitas, or steak fajitas. You can get a fajita kit from any supermarket I should think.

I would suggest you make a Paella for chicken and prawns; you just need rice, onion, mushrooms, red peppers, chicken stock and some saffron or turmeric for colour.

Cottage Pie
Cottage Pie and Shepherd's Pie are very similar. Shepherd's Pie is made from lamb whereas Cottage Pie uses beef. In this version of Cottage Pie we use fresh minced beef, however you can also use leftover Roast Beef.

1 onion
1 carrot
1 tablespoon of oil
500 grams / 1 lb of beef mince
2 tablespoons of flour
1 tablespoon of tomato sauce (ketchup)
½ to 1 tablespoon of Worcester sauce (Lee & Perins)
½ cup of peas
½ cup of corn kernels (optional)
1 bouquet garni or a small bunch of herbs chopped finely and one whole bay leaf
¾ to 1 cup of beef stock
3 to 4 large potatoes
1 tablespoon of butter
salt and pepper
Peel and chop the onion and carrot finely. Heat the oil in a large frypan or saucepan, add the onion and cook until the onion is clear or translucent. Add the minced beef and sauté using a wooden spoon break up the mince so it is nice and fine. When the mince is thoroughly browned stir through the flour and cook for one minute. Add the tomato sauce, Worcester sauce, finely chopped carrot, peas, corn and herbs. Stir thoroughly to combine. Gradually add the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and cover, simmering for 10 to 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. The mixture should be quite thick. Remove and discard the bouquet garni or whole bay leaf and set mixture aside.

Peel the potatoes, chop into quarters and place in a medium saucepan with cold water just covering the potatoes. Add a little salt to the water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. When the potatoes are cooked, drain and place back on the heat for a few seconds to let any extra water evaporate. Mash the potatoes with one tablespoon of butter until the potato is very creamy - add a little milk if necessary. Add salt to taste.

Preheat the oven to 190°C, 375°F or gas mark 5. Spoon the mince mixture into a pie dish, then spoon or pipe the creamy mashed potato over the mince. Sprinkle grated cheese on top if desired and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potato is golden and the pie is heated through.

bacon wrapped stuffed prawns

Relatively simple to prepare, this savory and complex dish makes an excellent appetizer or a delightful entrée. I serve three leaning on a dollop of Lobster Mashed Potatoes (a closely-held proprietary recipe which you will have to visit my restaurant to try). A simple salad of greens and fresh citrus fruit sections with vinaigrette also makes a nice accompanying side dish.

• 12 large (size #U15) Mexican prawns (peeled, deveined and butterflied)
• 12 oz. Dungeness Crab meat (flaked)
• 1 each red ,yellow, and green Bell peppers (finely diced)
• 1 rib celery (finely diced)
• 2 Tbs. scallions (sliced thin)
• 2 Tbs. olive oil
• 1 cup fresh sourdough bread crumbs

• 2 whole eggs (beaten)
• 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
• 1 Tbs. fresh garlic (chopped fine)
• 1 Tbs. fresh basil (minced)
• 1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
• Kosher salt & milled pepper to taste
• red Tabasco sauce (to taste, several shakes recommended)

• 6 slices of bacon (cut in half)


In olive oil, sauté peppers, celery, and scallions to soften (no more than a minute). Remove from heat and add bread crumbs and crab meat, mixing well. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and add remaining ingredients (except bacon slices). Mix thoroughly. Add crab mixture and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Heat oven to 400° F. On a cookie sheet, divide and shape stuffing into twelve walnut-sized portions. Press one portion into each butterflied prawn and wrap with bacon slice, finishing with the seam side down. Bake for eight to ten minutes until bacon is starting to crisp.
