Ingredients

2 medium carrots, scrubbed and grated
1 small fennel bulb, trimmed and finely sliced
1 large raw beetroot, scrubbed and finely sliced or coarsely grated
4 salad onions, trimmed and finely sliced
1½ tsp cumin seeds, toasted
1 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 small orange, scrubbed, zest and juice
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
½ x 15g pack oregano, leaves chopped
2 x 250g packs microwaveable wholegrain rice

Method

In a large bowl, combine the carrots, fennel, beetroot, salad onions, cumin seeds, green chilli, orange zest and juice, vinegar and 1½ tbsp olive oil. Stir in ½ the oregano and season; set aside. Cook the wholegrain rice according to pack instructions, then divide between bowls.
Meanwhile, pat the prawns dry with kitchen paper and dredge with the Cajun rub; season. Put the remaining ½ tbsp oil in a large frying pan set over a high heat and add the prawns. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the prawns are cooked through, opaque and pink throughout. Spoon the slaw alongside the rice and nestle in the prawns. Scatter with the remaining oregano leaves.
