Inspired by the two Greek dishes prawn saganaki (prawns baked in spicy tomato sauce) and fasolakia (a slow-cooked green bean stew), this dish is ripe for a summer evening. While it’s delicious eaten straightaway, any leftovers served cold the next day are fantastic, so feel free to double up on quantities. Just wait until you try our prawn saganaki too.
