This is a beloved family recipe. My dad used to make this quick spicy stir fry and would serve it with steamed rice and creamy lentils. Leeks are a tender, edible member of the lily family. They have a mild onion taste with a slightly sweet edge and look like over-grown green onions (scallions). Look for slender, straight leeks. Leeks more than about 1 1/2 inches wide tend to have tough inner cores. The top green leaves should look fresh - avoid leeks with wilted or yellowing tops.
Spicy stir fried leeks with prawns
4 medium leeks
1/2 lb peeled prawns
2 tb oil
salt to taste
4 whole green chillies
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp minced ginger
1/4 cup water
Peel prawns, clean the intestinal tract and set aside. Clean and cut leeks and rinse well.
Cut leeks thinly. Heat oil in a saucepan on high and saute minced ginger and leeks. Add salt, turmeric and chilli powder and stir well. Pour water and cook until leeks are wilted, once the water is evaporated, add in peeled prawns. Stir for three minutes and serve with rice.
