leeks with prawns and cashew nuts
2½ lbs leeks
1 orange
4 curcuma sunflower seed oil
¾ cup cashew nuts
4 tablespoons
chicken or vegetable broth
½ lb cooked prawns
½ tsp finely chopped ginger
salt1 tsp, turmeric
a pinch of cayenne pepper
1.
Cut off the hard green tops of the leeks and cut them lengthwise in half. Wash well and cut
crosswise into half rings.
2.
Peel the orange like an apple and cut out each section with a sharp knife. Save as much juice as
possible.
3.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the cashew nuts. Mix in the leeks and cook for about 5
minutes. Pour in the broth, cover and cook for another 5 minutes.
4.
Add the prawns, ginger, a tsp of salt, curcuma and cayenne pepper and mix well. Finally add the
orange sections and juice. Stir lightly but don't let it come to a boil. I think this goes best with
baguette or focaccia.
