Cook's notes
Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.
Instructions
- Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue. Slice the peeled prawns in half down the centre.
- Combine the mayonnaise, tomato sauce, lemon zest, onion and dill in a bowl. Stir in the Tabasco sauce and lemon juice to taste.
- Drizzle the bread with a little oil and season with salt. Lightly toast the bread on both sides.
