Instructions

Cook Rice

1

Boil a full kettle. Pour it into a saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.
Boil the rice, 10-12 mins.
Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.

Fry Time

2

Meanwhile, slice the pepper into strips. Drain the prawns.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the prawns and pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.

Add Flavour

3

Next, stir in the West African style paste, peanut butter, coconut milk and honey (see pantry).
Bring to a boil. Simmer, 2-3 mins
Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.

Dinner's Ready!

4

Share the rice between your bowls.
Top with the prawns.

Enjoy!
