METHOD
Preheat oven to 250°C. Roast the capsicums, 30-40 minutes, turning a few times until skin is blackened. Remove from oven and place in a sealed container to steam. Once cooled, peel away the skin, remove seeds and slice lengthways.
1Heat half the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook onion until soft. Add the amaranth, water, chicken bone broth powder and half of the salt and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover. Cook for 40-50 minutes, stirring a few times until amaranth is tender and water is absorbed.
2Heat the butter and remaining olive oil in the frying pan over medium heat and cook the garlic for 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add the roasted red capsicum, prawns, Cajun spice mix, smoked paprika, remaining salt, lemon zest and lemon juice. Cook, stirring for 4-5 minutes until prawns are just pink. Take off the heat and add the parsley.
3Place the pine nuts in a large frying pan without oil and toast over medium heat until browned on all sides. Stir continuously so they don’t burn. Remove from pan and set aside for later.
4To serve, spread amaranth on a large platter, top with prawns and their sauce, pine nuts and ricotta. Serve with lemon wedges and a green salad.
