Method

  1. Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic in a large non-stick fry pan (that has a lid) that has been coated with cooking spray for 3 minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes, basil and oregano, and toss together.
  4. Pour in wine and water, add tomato paste, chilli, pepper and olives to pan and combine well.
  5. Put lid on pan and leave to cook on a moderate boil for 10 minutes.
  6. Place prawns on top of tomato mix and put lid back on to pan. After 4 minutes, add feta and combine well. Serve with crusty bread or pasta.

NOTE: I like to serve this dish in a soup bowl so I can soak up the sauce with bread. YUM!

Suitable to be frozen.

Dietitian's tip

Bread is a good option, however, having this dish with pasta provides a low GI meal, because the food is absorbed more slowly and the blood glucose levels are more stable.
