Kitchen 27 - Prawn pilaf and preparing tomorrows tomato sauce

Prawn pilaf, well maybe not the most glamorous dish. But certainly a good test of prestidigitation and patience because although peeling a large bowl of prawns can be meditative, it is pretty tedious.

However, since we were working in pairs today and we also had to prepare our tomato sauce for tomorrow's pizza, we could share the work load. So I chose to put my knife skills to the test with chopping onions, carrots, celery, crushing garlic and dusting parsley while my team mate was peeling those lovely prawns.

And as with most work intensive things the outcome was really quite delicious and thus, all the work very much worth it:


Good thing was we made so much that I even got to take some home for dinner.
