This recipe for spiced, buttered cold-water prawns with charred cabbage on a bed of garlicky yogurt makes a delicious, easy side dish or light supper. The richness of the buttery cold-water prawns is balanced by the tangy yogurt, and cutting the sweetheart cabbage into strips means that it only takes a few minutes to become crisp and golden in the oven.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7
Soak the smashed clove of garlic in the lemon juice
Toss the cabbage leaves with olive oil and season with salt. Spread the leaves on a baking tray and roast for 8-10 minutes, tossing halfway through, or until tender and crisp at the edges
Mix the yogurt with the garlic and lemon juice, and a pinch of salt
Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the coriander seeds and pul biber, and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the coriander seeds begin to smell fragrant, and the oil has taken on the colour of the chilli flakes
Mix the prawns with the warm, spiced butter until well coated
Spread the garlicky yogurt on the bottom of a serving platter, and then place the roast cabbage on top. Pour over the prawns and spiced butter. Garnish the cabbage with the chopped dill
