Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C. Halve the pepper and discard the core and see ds. Slice into thin strips. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve. Pop a quarter of the beans into a bowl and mash with a fork until broken up. Cut each tortilla into 8 triangles (use scissors if easier). Place on a large baking tray in a single layer and drizzle with oil (use two trays if necessary). Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and cook until charred, 5-7 mins total. Stir every 2-3 mins.
Add the garlic and Cajun blackening to the peppers. Stir and cook for 1 min, then stir in the tomato passata, water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount), vegetable stock paste and red kidney beans (whole and mashed). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the stew has thickened, 10-12 mins.
Meanwhile, bake the tortilla triangles on the top shelf of your oven until lightly golden brown and crisp, 6-8 mins. Once cooked, remove from your oven and set aside.
Once thickened, stir the prawns into the stew and cook for another 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle. Once the prawns are cooked, taste the stew and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Share the stew between your bowls with a dollop of yoghurt on top and the tortilla chips alongside for dipping. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the taste, though some found it a bit bland; consider adding more Cajun spice or a squeeze of lime for depth.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with pre-prepared ingredients making it especially convenient for a weeknight meal.
- Suggestions: Try serving with rice instead of tortilla chips for a more filling meal; add extra vegetables like onions or broccoli.
- Portions: Several reviewers felt the portion size was small; consider bulking up with additional beans, vegetables, or a side of rice.
- Tortilla chips: While some loved the homemade chips, others found them tricky to crisp up; watch closely and reduce baking time if needed.
