How to make Red Pepper Rouille and Prawns Toasts

Preheat oven to 218°C. Finely chop garlic cloves with cayenne pepper and saffron in mini processor. Add roasted red pepper and vinegar to processor; blend until almost smooth. Blend in mayonnaise. Season rouille to taste with salt and pepper.

Transfer 80ml rouille to medium bowl. Add prawns and toss to coat. Arrange sourdough baguette slices on baking sheet. Spread each slice with rouille. Bake until bottoms of toasts are crisp and rouille is darker in colour, about 10 minutes.

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add prawns, spreading in single layer. Cook until just browned and opaque in centre, about 2 minutes per side. Arrange toasts on plate. Place 2 prawns on each toast; sprinkle toasts with capers.
