Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and add the prawns. 3Gently poach the prawns for 4-5 minutes or until they are just cooked. Remove the prawns and, when cool enough to handle, peel and devein them, discarding the heads and shells. 4 Transfer the prawns to a shallow bowl and add the marinade ingredients. Stir to coat and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes, before serving at room temperature. Alternatively, make ahead and refrigerate, then bring to room temperature before serving. TIP You can make this dish ahead of time. Just be sure to bring the prawns to room temperature before serving. Plenty of bread to mop up all the delicious marinade is a must. Caro: Lemon and Ricotta pasta Fresh Ricotta (in the tub) Short pasta 1 cup Ricotta into a bowl, mix with 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1 garlic clove chopped, olive oil, juice / rind 1 lemon Drain pasta (with spinach) Scatter with fresh basil and chilli flakes Drizzle Cobram Estate Olive Oil on top Corrie: Tarragon ChickenFrom Julia Busuttil Nishimura’s ‘Good Cooking Every Day’ 1 × 1.6-1.8kg chicken, broken down into 6 pieces sea salt plain flour, for dusting 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp unsalted butter 6 eschalots (French shallots), halved 125ml (½ cup) dry white wine 250ml (1 cup) pure cream 300ml chicken stock handful of tarragon sprigs black pepper METHOD Preheat the oven to 180C fan-forced Season the chicken pieces with salt and dust in the flour, shaking off any excess. Heat half the olive oil and butter in a large, deep ovenproof frypan over a medium-high heat. When the butter is foaming, add the chicken, in batches if needed, and brown for 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan. Wipe the pan clean and add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once the butter is foaming, add the eschalots and a pinch of salt and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the eschalots are beginning to colour. Deglaze with the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to lift any brown bits. Cook for 1-2 minutes until reduced, then add the cream, stock and tarragon sprigs. Season with a little salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and return the chicken, skin-side up, to the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
