Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the chat potatoes in half. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven.
TIP: Cut any larger potatoes into quarters so they roast evenly.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the potatoes between two trays.
While the potatoes are roasting, trim the green beans and slice in half. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the parsley and green olives.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and green beans and cook, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season to taste, then transfer to a serving bowl. Cover to keep warm.
Slice the ciabatta. In a large bowl, combine the garlic and herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the ciabatta, turning to coat. Place on a second lined oven tray and bake until golden, 5-7 minutes.
While the ciabatta is baking, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. Add the butter, green olives, chargrilled capsicums, the remaining garlic and 1/2 the parsley and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season to taste, then remove from heat.
Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the veggies. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and top with the mojo rojo dressing and remaining parsley. Bring the garlic prawns, patatas bravas, ciabatta and almond green beans to the table to serve.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The prawns, mojo rojo dressing, and chargrilled capsicum were widely praised, though many felt the bold flavours — particularly the olives and smoky dressing — clashed rather than complemented each other on the one plate.
- Ease of prep: Most found it manageable, though several noted the multiple simultaneous components made it feel fiddly, especially for a weeknight — best saved for a weekend or when cooking with a partner.
- Suggestions: Some found the garlic and herb seasoning on the ciabatta too salty or bitter; using garlic butter with fresh parsley, or brushing on a measured amount of olive oil, worked better. A few recommended par-boiling the potatoes first then lightly crushing them before roasting for a crunchier result, and slicing rather than halving them. Adding a little chilli to the prawns was a popular tip for those wanting more heat. One reviewer suggested cooking the cherry tomatoes only at the very end so the beans retain more texture.
- Leftovers: Most agreed the dish was best enjoyed fresh, with at least one reviewer noting it did not hold up as well the next day.
- Portions: Several found the combination of potatoes and ciabatta to be a lot of starchy carbohydrate, and suggested serving just one or the other; a few noted the meal was generous enough to stretch to three people.
