Harissa and Prawn Baguette

Published on 28 June 2025 at 20:56

Harissa is the star in our hot baked baguette. With this our fresh prawns are marinated in the rich, smoky blend, then paired with crisp vegetables. Each bite delivers a harmonious hit of heat, tang, and creamy avocado goodness. What truly elevates this dish is the artisan baguette itself. Baked to golden perfection with a crisp, flaky crust and a soft, airy center, it’s the ideal vessel for the bold flavours of the harissa-marinated prawns. Its subtle, buttery notes provide the perfect balance to the spice, ensuring every mouthful is a delightful medley of textures and tastes.
