Prawns, Chorizo and Anchovy Linguini

Anchovies in pasta sauce is great, and it’s a shame that this flavour is hard to come by here. I guess putting anchovies in the menu still constitute a small risk some restaurants are not willing to take. The way it is done here, browned patiently with garlic, puts the anchovies firmly in the background while giving the sauce a savoury depth.

Browning the anchovies and garlic. Prawns pre-seared. Prawn shell stock boiling away.


Chorizos (not shown) were crisped and then the base tomato sauce added. Allow it to brown before adding the stock.


Add stock, reduce, dump in ¾ cooked pasta, stew and reduce.


Serve with basil and lemon peel.
