PRAWN, PUMPKIN & COCONUT STEW

Ingredients

The Aromatics & Base:

✅ 2 tbsp CocoGoodsCo Refined Coconut Oil

✅ 1 medium onion (cut into crescent wedges)

✅ 4 cloves garlic (crushed)

✅ 2 red chillies (deseeded and finely chopped)

✅ fresh ginger (grated to a purée)

The Heart of the Stew:

✅ 1 can (13.5 oz/400ml) CocoGoodsCo Organic Coconut Cream

✅ 750ml Chicken stock

✅ 350g Pumpkin (peeled and cut into cubes)

✅ 150g potatoes (quartered)

✅ 400g raw prawns (shelled and deveined)

✅ 300g Baby spinach leaves

Seasoning & Serving:

✅ Salt and black pepper (to taste)

✅ 1-2 Limes (juiced, plus extra wedges for serving)

✅ Optional: Thinly sliced red chilli for garnish

Directions

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

✅ Heat the CocoGoodsCo Refined Coconut Oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. 

✅ Add the onion wedges and cook until soft and pale gold. 

✅ Stir in the garlic, chopped chillies, and grated ginger. 

✅ Cook for 2 more minutes until fragrant.

Step 2: Simmer the Broth

✅ Stir in the CocoGoodsCo Organic Coconut Cream and the stock. 

✅ Season with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. 

✅ Bring to a gentle simmer, heating carefully — do not let it reach a rolling boil to ensure the coconut cream stays silky and smooth.

Step 3: Cook the Vegetables

✅ Add the pumpkin cubes and baby potatoes. Simmer gently until the vegetables are tender.

✅ Pro Tip: Use a wooden spoon to slightly squash a few pieces of the pumpkin against the side of the pot; this will naturally thicken the stew without breaking down the rest of the vegetables.

Step 4: Add the Prawns & Greens

✅ Stir in the raw prawns and baby spinach leaves. Cook gently for about 3 minutes until the prawns are opaque and pink.

Step 5: Balance the Flavors

✅ Stir in the lime juice (if needed). 

✅ Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper as needed to enhance the natural creaminess of the coconut.

Step 6: Serve

✅ Ladle the steaming stew into deep bowls. 

✅ Top with sliced red chillies and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.

ALL-GOOD TIP: This simplified version highlights the premium quality of the coconut cream. Serve it with crusty bread or brown rice for a wholesome, gut-friendly meal.
