Prawn and spinach pasta sauce
As a result of wanting to defrost the freezer, I had some prawns and spinach that needed using up. I don't normally like spinach, but I liked this, so I thought it was worth writing up.
Sweat a chopped onion and two finely chopped cloves of garlic. Add about 50g chopped mushrooms. Add 6 or 7 cubes of frozen spinach or a bunch of finely chopped fresh spinach. Add about half a pint of milk, and bring to the boil. Add a bunch of roughly chopped green beans, and simmer. A squeeze of lazy parsley (or some fresh parsley, finely chopped), a splash of mirin and a pinch of sugar, stir well. When the pasta (or whatever you're serving it with) is nearly ready, throw a packet of cooked prawns in. Stir well and make sure it's all piping hot.
Of course, you could omit the mirin or use sake or sherry. I usually have cooking mirin and sake, and often no sherry. Also, throwing random extra veg in rarely hurts.
Serve with pasta or whatever you feel like... I think it would be good on baked potatoes.
