Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a small mixing bow & a grater

Roast the potatoes

  • Quarter the potatoes. Trim the green beans
  • Place the potatoes on the lined baking tray and toss with half of the paprika & oregano mix, 1 tbsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden
  • When the potatoes have 10 mins left, add the bean to the tray, toss with 1 tbsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and return to the oven for the remaining time

Prep the veg & get sizzling

  • Thinly slice 3 garlic cloves. Cut the onion into 1cm wedges. Zest and quarter the lemon. Drain the prawns.
  • Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 4-5 mins until beginning to soften. Add the garlic, chilli paste (use less for less heat) and remaining paprika & oregano mix. Cook for a further 2 mins. Add the passata & 100ml of water ( 50ml for 1 person) and bring to a boil.
  • Add the prawns to the sauce and simmer on medium-high heat for 10 mins, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens and the prawns are pink and cooked through

Meanwhile make the yoghurt

  • Finely chop or grate the remaining garlic clove
  • In the small bowl, add the yoghurt, lemon zest, garlic and juice from half the lemon. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
  • Share the bravas prawns between plates with the potatoes and beans alongside. Drizzle over the garlic yoghurt and garnish with the remaining lemon cut into wedges
