KAPOW! What a flavour burst, and the best thing, this little wonder is done under 20 minutes. Perfect for a busy weeknight but also perfect to wow your guests. Served with some crusty bread to soak up all the juices and you’ve got a winner.
I served it with gremolata prawns but it’s also super tasty just as it is!

Add the tomato paste and mix well to dissolve, sauté ± 2 minutes.
Add the Nduja and mix until well incorporated.
Pour in the white beans and mix to coat well with the sauce.
Add the chicken stock, cream (if using), Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and sugar and let simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
The prawns
In the meantime heat some olive oil in a frying pan and add the bread crumbs, toast until starting to crisp up. Add the prawns, half of the parsley and the the lemon zest and stir fry, coating the prawns with the bread crumbs until just cooked through, ± 3 minutes.
Season with pepper and salt and a squeeze of lemon, stir well and remove from the heat.
Serve the stew with the gremolata prawns, slices of lemon on the side, the parsley sprinkled on top and some fresh crusty bread on the side.
