Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Cut your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized cubes

Add the potato cubes to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until the potatoes are golden and crispy – these are your crispy potatoes

Step 1
2.

Deseed your peppers (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut them into thick strips

Peel and roughly slice your red onion[s]

Add the pepper strips and sliced onion to a separate baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt

Put the tray in the oven for 20 min or until the veg is soft and tender – this is your roasted veg

Step 2
3.

While the veg is in the oven, boil half a kettle

Dice your tomato[es]

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Dissolve your tomato paste in 100ml [150ml] [200ml] boiled water and add your chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) – this is your spicy tomato stock

Step 3
4.

Heat a pot with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add the diced tomato with a pinch of salt and sugar and cook for 3-4 min or until the tomatoes have broken down

Add the spicy tomato stock to the pan and cook for 3-4 min further or until thickened – this is your bravas sauce

Step 4
5.

While the sauce thickens, heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Add your ground coriander, ground smoked paprika, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a generous pinch of salt to the pan and cook for 30 secs or until fragrant

Step 5
6.

Once fragrant, drain your king prawns, then add them to the pan and cook for 4-5 min or until the prawns are cooked through – these are your smoky Spanish-style king prawns

Step 6
7.

Meanwhile, combine your mayo, chopped garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!), 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] cold water and a pinch of salt in a small bowl – this is your aioli

Step 7
8.

Serve the roasted veg on a plate and top with the smoky Spanish-style king prawns

Serve the crispy potatoes to the side and spoon over the bravas sauce – this is your patatas bravas

Drizzle the aioli all over the patatas bravas

Enjoy!
