Plentiful platters

Coconut, green chilli and za’atar tiger prawns with herby quinoa

The fresh vibrant ingredients in this platter are a moreish flavour collision of South Indian coconut, ginger and green chilli, combined with the Middle East with the toasty-herby za’atar, fresh mint and dill. The stuffing is also delicious baked inside baby aubergines, whole roasted onions and even whole mild chillies.
