Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Boil a half-kettle. Halve the tomatoes. Dice the pepper into 2cm squares. Roughly chop the coriander. Dissolve the creamed coconut and the stock cube in a jug with 400ml boiling water. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
  2. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the tomatoes and pepper, then cook for 3-4 mins until softened. Add the garlic paste, tomato puree, tempero baiano spice and chickpeas. Cook for 2-3 mins.
  3. Add the stock mixture and prawns, then cover with a lid. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 6-8 mins, until the prawns are pink and cooked through and the sauce has thickened. In the final minute of cooking, rinse the spinach, then gently stir through the sauce to wilt. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry.
  4. Once cooked, stir in half the coriander and squeeze in the juice from half the lime. Cut the remaining lime into wedges. Season the stew with sea salt and black pepper (to taste).
  5. Serve the coconut & tomato prawns in bowls. Garnish with the lime wedges and scatter over the remaining coriander.
