2 garlic cloves, crushed

4 tomatoes, skinned and chopped

150ml (1/4 pint) white wine

25g (1 oz) butter

Method :

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the shallots, garlic and carrots and gently fry until softened but not browned. Add the tomatoes and white wine and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.

Add the prawns, then raise the heat so that the liquid reduced by half. Season to taste. Divide between four buttered dishes and top with mushrooms.

To make the sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes without coloring. Remove from the heat and add the milk, a little at a time. Return to the heat and cook until thickened, stirring. Add two-thirds of the cheese, a little nutmeg and seasoning.

Pour over the top of the vegetable and prawn mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Cook at 200C (400F) mark 6 for 20-25 minutes.
