Saganaki actually refers to the small single serve pan these dishes are traditionally cooked and served in, rather than the dish itself. This is a Greek dish which I found in the latest Woolworths Good Taste magazine (Volume 16, number 5). For those of you who like to cook, this magazine is always jam packed full of great recipes. This particular volume is the World Food Issue and has some fantastic recipes from all over the world. You can find similar Prawn Saganaki recipes on the web.
For this recipe you just use a fry pan and casserole dish rather than the traditional saganaki dish.
Prawn Saganaki is a dish of prawns oven baked in a rich tomato sauce with feta. You make the tomato sauce on the stove top from red onion, garlic, tomato paste, white wine and chopped tomatoes. Once the sauce is nice and thick you spread it into a casserole dish and top with peeled green prawns and crumbled feta cheese. It is baked in the oven until cooked through and served with fresh bread, salad and lemon wedges.
Personally I am not a great fan of tomato based seafood dishes...so don't really know why I tried this dish! I think I was lured in by the feta, which I do love! If you like tomato based seafood dishes then this is a great, easy, healthy dinner or casual lunch dish.
