Ingredients

  • 200g peeled raw prawns
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 courgette, diced
  • 1 fennel bulb, finely chopped
  • 225g mixed long-grain and wild rice
  • 900ml vegetable stock
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 lemon wedges, to serve
  • Step-by-Step Method: Wild Rice Courgette Fennel and Prawn Stir Fry
  • Rinse the mixed long-grain and wild rice thoroughly under cold water
  • Combine rice and vegetable stock in a saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat
  • Reduce heat, cover, and simmer the rice for about 25–30 minutes or until tender; drain excess liquid if needed and set aside
  • While the rice cooks, finely chop the red onion, dice the courgettes, finely chop the fennel bulb, and chop the garlic cloves
  • Pat the peeled raw prawns dry with paper towels
  • Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium heat
  • Add prawns to the hot pan in a single layer; sear for 1–2 minutes per side until just pink and opaque, then transfer to a plate and set aside
  • Wipe out the pan if needed, return it to the heat, and add the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil
  • Add the chopped onion and fennel to the pan; sauté for 3–4 minutes until beginning to soften
  • Add the diced courgettes and chopped garlic; cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until vegetables are tender but still vibrant
  • Season vegetables lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Add the cooked rice to the pan and toss well with the vegetables to combine; heat through for 1–2 minutes
  • Return the prawns to the pan and gently stir to distribute evenly
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt and black pepper
  • Remove from heat and stir in the chopped flat-leaf parsley just before serving
  • Spoon the stir fry onto plates or bowls, ensuring an even mix of prawns, rice, and vegetables
  • Garnish each serving with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over just before eating
