Reference figures for a dish as it is commonly cooked — never a measurement of your plate. The range is the honest part: two kitchens make this differently. In the app, a photograph replaces the guess.

Method

6 steps

chop · 5m
Onion diced small, garlic sliced, parsley chopped and kept back.
fry · 8m
Onion softened in the oil until sweet, then the garlic and crumbled chilli for a minute more.
simmer · 18m
Tomatoes in, cooked down until the sauce is thick and no longer weeps water at the edge of the pan. A thin sauce here poaches the prawns instead of baking them.
fold · 3m
Prawns stirred through the hot sauce, then feta broken over the top in big pieces rather than crumbled.
roast · 8m
Into a hot oven at 200°C, or under the grill, until the prawns are pink and opaque through and the feta has softened and coloured at the edges. Seven or eight minutes, and no longer.
finish · 2m
Parsley over the top, and bread to get the sauce out of the dish.

Worth knowing

Saganaki names the two-handled pan, not the food — anything served bubbling in one borrows the name.
