Prawns and Fingerlings in Tomato Broth

This aromatic prawn and fingerling potato dish is a wonderful example of a heart-healthy seafood supper. The base is built on a rich, slow-cooked tomato and onion foundation, elevated by the smoky depth of paprika and a splash of crisp white wine. Using fire-roasted tomatoes adds a subtle charred quality that perfectly complements the sweetness of the prawns, creating a sophisticated yet light broth that feels genuinely nourishing.

Perfect for a midweek meal or a relaxed weekend lunch, this Mediterranean-style stew is naturally low in saturated fat while remaining incredibly satisfying. The use of fingerling potatoes provides a waxy, buttery texture that holds its shape beautifully in the liquid. Serve this vibrant dish in deep bowls with a side of steamed seasonal greens or a slice of crusty wholegrain bread to soak up the fragrant juices.
