Prawn And Sesame Lavash Toasts. New Music From The Mcooleys.

This made me laugh.

I have never made a recipe quite like these very elegant and unbelievably delicious Prawn And Sesame Lavash Toasts. The unexpected combination of shrimp, chili pepper, cilantro and zucchini is a real treat. It’s lovely tucked between the oven-crisped lavash and served with a lively lime mayonnaise.

Prawn And Sesame Lavash Toasts

Ingredients:

500g medium prawns (shrimp), peeled, deveined
1 egg white
1 small red chili pepper, roughly chopped
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
2 pieces lavash bread
Melted unsalted butter, for brushing
¼ cup cilantro leaves
1 zucchini (courgette), grated
½ tablespoon sesame seeds
Lime Mayonnaise (recipe follows)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

2. Place the prawns, egg white, chili pepper, salt and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.

3. Brush both sides of the lavash with butter. Place one of the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spread with the prawn mixture, top with cilantro and zucchini. Sandwich with the remaining lavash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

4. Use a knife to score lavash into 16 triangles. Bake for 10–15 minutes or until golden and crunchy. Serve with lime mayonnaise.

Mallorca-based band The Mcooleys have a new EP out titled ‘Empty Blue Skies’.

I love the guitar-percussion interplay in “What Happened Tonight” and all those drawn out words.

Check out The Mcooleys on the band’s Website. I’m not sure where to buy the EP, but you could probably contact the band to find out using the contact link on their site.

Cheers!
