Ingredients
- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- 3-4 tbsp olive oil
- 6 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 4 tbsp chopped parsley leaves (divided)
- 3 tbsp breadcrumbs
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 handful of cherry tomatoes (chopped)
- 500 ml tomato juice (2 ¼ cups)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 kg fresh medium-sized skampi (langoustines) (2.2 lbs)
- 200 ml water (1 cup)
- 200 ml dry white wine (1 cup)
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan sauté the onion in olive oil. After about 15 minutes, add the garlic, breadcrumbs and half of the chopped parsley leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cherry tomatoes for a deeper flavour. After they wilt, mix in the tomato juice and sugar.
- Throw in the langoustines. Pour water over them so they are almost submerged. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes. The langoustines are done when their meaty tail becomes opaque.
- Add wine and simmer for another 5 minutes. Garnish with the rest of the chopped parsley leaves.
- Serve with crusty white bread and a bowl of water on the side for washing your fingers.
