  Tried this recipe and loved it! Nutritious and healthy, not to mention easy to make. I loved the simplicity of the recipe as well as the different flavours and textures. I had to tweak the quantities a little, but was very happy with the end result. I do think chickpeas overpowered the delicate flavour of the prawns a little, so I just might try it with chicken next time and definitely use more fennel as I love the flavour!

  Sounded good but in reality was really bland. May work with chicken but I won't be doing again.

  If possible use fresh (not frozen/thaw) prawns. I didn't find the Cavolo Nero.

  Tried this recipe today as we got fennel and cavalo nero in our veg box. I added smoked paprika instead of normal and some chilli, we did enjoy it, but I think if I make it again I won't add as many chick peas as I think they overpowered it a little.

  I was not as impressed as I thought I would be by this dish either, not sure why - it just lacked depth of flavour.

  This is great recipe especially for those on a low fat high protein diet. It is really tasty, I used smoked paprika for an extra kick.
