Ingredients

Zucchini Tacos

1 cup of grated zucchini
1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon arrowroot flour
2 tablespoons of coconut flour
1 free range egg
1 tablespoon of water
1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon of ground chilli powder
1/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan or sea salt
1 pinch of cracked black pepper

Dressing

1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons whole egg mayonnaise
1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice
1/2 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh coriander
1/2 birdseye chilli, finely chopped (optional)
sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Ingredients

60 grams of fresh green prawns, peeled & de-veined
2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 teaspoon of dried chilli flakes
pinch each of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper
2 lettuce leaves, shredded
3 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 avocado, diced
lime wedges to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Marinate the prawns in the olive oil, garlic, chilli flakes, salt & pepper while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Place the grated zucchini in a clean cloth or towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. Combine the zucchini with the remaining taco ingredients, mix well and let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat your oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Divide the taco mixture evenly into two and gently work into 2 circles measuring approximately 13-14cm across.
  5. Cook the tacos for 20 minutes or until nicely browned on both sides. Set aside to cool. A cake cooling rack will help to stop them sweating while they cool.
  6. Meanwhile whisk the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  7. Heat a small pan to medium and add the prawns with their marinade, cook until prawns are completely cooked through.
  8. Assemble the tacos by topping with the lettuce, tomatoes and avocado then the prawns. Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
