Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 cloves garlic
Roll a garlic clove to loosen the skin, peel it and grate it.
  • 1 whole lemon
  • fresh mint
  • fresh dill
Zest the lemon; chop the mint and dill fine; put it all in a bowl.
  • ½ whole English cucumber
Grate half the English cucumber fine and squeeze out the excess water with a paper towel.
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
Squeeze in half the lemon, add about a cup of plain yogurt and stir; taste.
  • salt
  • pepper
  • olive oil
  • milk
Season with salt, pepper and a little olive oil, add the rest of the lemon juice, then stir in milk to a drizzling consistency for a sauce.
  • 1 lb shrimp
  • mustard seeds
  • celery seeds
Thaw the shrimp as before.
Lightly smash mustard seeds, celery seeds and chili flakes in a mortar and pestle so they release flavour and stick.
  • chili flakes
  • 2 whole leeks
Peel the outer layer or two off the leeks, rinse, cut off the tops and cut thick rounds, cutting further down past any dirt; put them on the tray.
  • 1 whole red chili
Slice a red chili to roast with the leeks.
  • leftover cucumber
  • purple basil
Slice the leftover cucumber thin for serving raw.
  • 1 can chickpeas
Peel the shrimp as before and put on the tray; drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve and add them; blot the shrimp and chickpeas dry.
  • harissa powder
Put the cracked seeds on the shrimp, harissa powder on the chickpeas and pepper on the leeks; salt everything, going easy on the shrimp and chickpeas.
Drizzle olive oil everywhere and toss to coat; lay everything flat and evenly spaced, with the chili slices on top of the leeks to char.
Broil under the red-hot grill; flip things after about three minutes; the shrimp are done after six or seven minutes, when starting to get crunchy.
Judging shrimp doneness and serving
Add the cucumber slices, scatter the basil leaves and drizzle the tzatziki over everything.
