Where to find ingredients
Look for the prawns, palm hearts and cream in the supermarket chilled and canned sections; Parmesan and butter are usually in the dairy aisle, while flour and olive oil are in the baking and cooking-oils aisles. If needed, use a good-quality cooking cream as a substitute for the cream, but keep the original ingredient as the first choice.
Preparation method
- Sauté the prawns in the 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 onion in the pan and cook until thick, forming a heavy cream
- Stir the cream into the white sauce and set aside
- In a greased baking dish, spread out the sautéed prawns and cover with the white sauce
- Sprinkle plenty of grated Parmesan cheese over the 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 caramelised
- Serve the dish hot, garnished with golden onion
