Where to find ingredients
Look for the prawns and palm hearts at the fresh fish counter and the canned-goods aisle; Parmesan, cream, milk, flour, onions, butter, margarine, olive oil, garlic, and salt are usually found in the dairy, baking, and pantry sections. If needed, use double cream as a substitute for table cream.
Preparation method
- Sauté the prawns in olive oil with chopped garlic and onion rings until golden
- Prepare the white sauce: in a pan, melt the butter and sauté the onion until translucent
- In a blender, blend the milk with the wheat flour until smooth
- Add the mixture to the sautéed onion in the pan and cook until it thickens into a dense cream
- Stir the table cream into the white sauce and set aside
- In a greased baking dish, spread the sautéed prawns and cover with the white sauce
- Sprinkle plenty of grated Parmesan cheese on top
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes or until gratinated
- Brown the onion in a frying pan with margarine and butter until lightly caramelized
- Serve the dish hot, garnished with browned onion
