    ½

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 8-10 mins until starting to soften, then stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min. Add the peppers, spices, tomato purée and a splash of water. Cook for 1-2 mins until the peppers soften.

  2. 2

    Add the almonds, stock cube and 500ml water to the pan, season and simmer for 10 mins. Stir in the cream. Cook the beans in a small pan of boiling water for 2 mins until just tender, then drain.

  3. 3

    When you’re ready to eat, add the salmon to the sauce, simmer gently for 2-3 mins until the fish turns opaque, then add the prawns and cook for a further 1 min until they turn pink. Check the salmon is cooked through (it should easily flake when gently pressed with a knife). Remove from the heat and add a little lime juice. Serve scattered with the coriander, the beans with the rice and the lime wedges for squeezing over.
