Cooking Steps

1

• Thinly slice red radish into rounds. • Using a vegetable peeler, peel cucumber into ribbons (stopping when you reach the seeds in the centre). • In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add radish and cucumber to the pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover veggies. Set aside until lightly pickled, 15-20 minutes.

TIP: Slicing the veggies very thinly helps them pickle faster!

• Meanwhile, trim ends of baby cos lettuce and separate leaves. Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice long chilli (if using). • In a second medium bowl, combine peeled prawns, lemon pepper seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. • When pickled veggies have 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl. • Crumble in fetta cubes and mash to combine.
