PRAWN AND SPINACH PILAU

In order to make your father surprise and make it happy on his birthday, you should cook the Prawn and Spinach Pilau. This is a healthy recipe that is made of nutritional ingredients such as fresh spinach, nutmeg, white pepper, lemon peel, bay leaves, and olive oil.
Serves :
10

Preparation Time :
30 minutes

Cooking Time :
1 hour 15 minutes

Preparation Method :

  • Peel the prawns and put the heads and shells into a large pan with the lemon peel, herbs and peppercorns.
  • Add the cold water and bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. Strain and reserve the stock.
