Ingredients

  • 20 large prawns, peeled and deveined
  • ½ stick of stale French baguette
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • ½ bunch of coriander, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

The Seasoning

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour

Method

1. First off, set your peeled and deveined prawns on top of some kitchen roll to dry out (this will help them stick together later!).

2. Once dried slightly, mince the prawns and place them in a mixing bowl with the chopped garlic, spring onion and coriander. Season with salt and pepper, add the sesame oil, egg white and cornflour, and beat together with a wooden spoon.
(Hint: if you would like to add extra texture to your toast, reserve the last few prawns and finely slice or bash them rather than mincing)

3. Time for the toast! Take your stick of stale French baguette and slice it in half lengthwise. Hollow out the bread, discarding the soft insides but keeping hold of the crusts, and spoon in the prawn mix, making sure to spread the filling right to the edge of the bread.

4. Now, slice each filled baguette in half into 4 cm long chunks and sprinkle the pieces with sesame seeds.
