    • Total time: 25 minutes

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    1 fat garlic clove

    roughly chopped
    1 ½ tbsp palm sugar or light brown soft sugar
    2 tbsp fish sauce
    about 2 tbsp lime juice

    Method

    1. Put the garlic in a large pestle and mortar with a pinch of sea salt. Pound until a paste forms, then add the chilli. Pound again until the chilli is pummelled into small pieces. Stir in the sugar, fi sh sauce and lime juice. The dressing should be an even balance of hot, salty, sour and sweet; adjust to taste, adding extra lime juice to make it more sour if necessary. Transfer the dressing to a large bowl.

    2. Put the green beans into the pestle and mortar and pound lightly to bruise. Add the cherry tomatoes and repeat. Tip into the dressing, add the apples and prawns, and toss to coat. Divide between serving plates and top with the peanuts and fried onions, serving while they are still crisp.
