Bahraini-Style King Prawn Machboos
The Middle Eastern rice dish is said to be the national dish of the Kingdom of Bahrain. To make our twist, you'll cook rice in heady, aromatic baharat spice, and serve with zingy lemon coriander prawns.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Peel and dice your brown onion[s]
Roughly chop your tomato[es]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Cut your green chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the diced onion, chopped tomato, half the chopped garlic (save the rest for later!) and half the chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) with a pinch of salt
Cook for 2-3 min or until the onion has softened
Meanwhile, chop your coriander finely, including the stalks
Combine the juice of your lemon[s] and the remaining chopped chilli (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) in a small bowl with the remaining chopped garlic, half the chopped coriander (save the rest for later!), a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil – this is your lemon coriander sauce
Once the onion has softened, add your baharat and ground turmeric to the pan with your ground cinnamon
Cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add your basmati rice, vegetable stock mix, sultanas and 300ml [390ml] [600ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once cooked, remove from the heat and stir through the remaining chopped coriander and keep covered until serving – this is your sultana rice
When the rice is nearly ready, heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, drain your king prawns, then add to the pan and cook for 4-5 min or until cooked through
Once the prawns have cooked through, add the lemon coriander sauce and cook for 30 secs – these are your lemon coriander king prawns
Serve the lemon coriander king prawns over the sultana rice and spoon over any remaining sauce – this is your Bahraini-style king prawn machboos
Enjoy!
