Vanilla-butter prawn bisque

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 40 minutes

Cooking Time 1 hour

Ingredients

2 T butter
1 T olive oil
12 prawn heads
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1 T tomato paste
3 tarragon sprigs
4 garlic cloves, chopped
½ t cayenne pepper
4 cups fish stock
1 T chicken stock powder
3 T flour
1 T vanilla extract
1 cup sherry
1 cup cream
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 x 200 g Woolworths trout portions
Woolworths trout pearls, for serving

Method

1. Heat the butter and oil in a large pan. Add the prawn heads and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the pan.

2. Add the onion, carrots and tomato paste and cook slowly until golden brown.

3. Stir in the tarragon, garlic and cayenne pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the stocks, flour, vanilla extract and the prawn heads. Simmer for 30 minutes, covered.

4. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth, including the heads – this will add more flavour. Strain, then add the cream and sherry and season.

5. Pan-fry the fish on one side for 5 minutes. Turn and cook for 1 minute.

6. Ladle the bisque into bowls, top with the fish and spoon over the trout pearls.
