Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Use 250 g cooked, drained cannellini beans. Weigh couscous dry; cover with 120 ml boiling water for 5–10 minutes or its package time, then fluff. Scrub potato and dice into 1 cm cubes; chop onion, garlic and parsley and cut washed lemon into wedges. Use raw peeled, deveined prawns, thawed if frozen; clean hands and utensils after handling.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large lidded pan over medium heat. Cook onion and potato for 5 minutes; add garlic and remaining 250 ml water. Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes until potato is fork-tender.

  3. Step 3

    Add beans for 3 minutes, then prawns for about 3–5 minutes until their centres reach 74°C on a clean digital thermometer. Fold in couscous and parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
