Prawns with passionfruit aioli

 


ZanzibarPrawns

You know passionfruit, turmeric and eggs are not normally ingredients who play together, however turmeric and passionfruit are kinda yellow so I reckoned they’d blend up well with a few egg yolks and make a cracker of an accompaniment to a handful of local grilled prawns.

Passionfruit, an obvious aphrodisiac, also has powerful healing properties including antioxidant and anti-fungal activity and has been used by Amazonian tribes for centuries for its sedating powers and pain relief.

Like its little sister ginger, turmeric is a tuberous rhizome – a root plant with fleshy extended stems that run just under the ground and produce shoots and roots for new plants. A handsome plant that can grown up to five or six feet with a large yellow and white flower spike surrounded by long leaves
