This elegant dish of olive oil-poached prawns with winter pistou offers a sophisticated twist on a classic Provençal sauce. Unlike a traditional summer pesto, this heart-healthy winter version is bulked with blanched broccoli, cauliflower, and protein-rich cannellini beans, creating a velvety base that is both comforting and nutritious. Gentling poaching the prawns in olive oil ensures they remain incredibly tender and sweet, providing a luxurious texture that contrasts beautifully with the herbaceous vegetable purée.

Perfect for an impressive dinner party starter or a light main course, this recipe manages to be indulgent while remaining focused on wholesome ingredients. The vibrant green pistou can be prepared well in advance, making it an excellent choice for stress-free entertaining. Serve it warm with a crisp glass of white wine and perhaps some crusty sourdough to mop up any remaining aromatic oil.

Divide warm pistou among 4 or 6 plates. Top pistou with poached prawns and serve.
