  • Place them into a preheated oven at 120C and roast uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until dehydrated.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  • To a blender, add the dehydrated tomatoes, olives, anchovies, olive oil and season before blitzing to a chunky paste.

To make the prawns:

  • Heat the coconut oil in a pan and gently fry 5-6 prawns until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Set aside on some kitchen towel to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve immediately with the tapenade and Banting Blvd’s seed cracker premix.
