Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Polenta

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and gradually whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes until thickened. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make Green Tomato Caponata

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; sauté until softened. Stir in diced green tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and basil. Cook for about 10 minutes until tomatoes are tender. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Wrap Prawns

    Preheat grill or oven broiler. Cut prosciutto slices in half lengthwise. Wrap each prawn with a slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  4. 4

    Cook Prawns

    Place wrapped prawns on the grill or a baking sheet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until prawns are opaque and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    On a plate, serve a bed of polenta topped with green tomato caponata and arrange the prosciutto-wrapped prawns on top.
