Instructions

Prep the Veg
1

Trim and discard the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

Grate the Cheddar cheese. Discard any tough stalks from the cavolo nero.

Start the Chowder
2

Boil a half-full kettle.

Heat a large saucepan on medium-high heat, then melt the butter gently.

Once melted, add the leek and saute until softened, stirring occasionally, 1-2 mins. Add the garlic and fry, stirring occasionally, 1 min more.

Make the Stock
3

Pour the boiled water (see pantry) into the pan, then add the vegetable stock paste and stir to dissolve. 

Continue the Chowder
4

Add the creme fraiche, cavolo nero and half the chives to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer on medium heat and stir until creamy, 1-2 mins.

Meanwhile, drain the prawns.

Cook the Prawns
5

Add the prawns to the creamy sauce and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the prawns are fully cooked, 5-6 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They’re cooked when pink on the outside and opaque all the way through.

Serve
6

Share the creamy prawn chowder between your bowls.

Top with the Cheddar cheese and remaining chives to finish.
