For the ceviche
8 very large raw prawns-peeled, heads removed, deveined, and very finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, deseeded and finely chopped
4 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves picked and finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh mint, leaves picked and finely chopped
1 medium-heat red chile, deseeded and finely chopped
1 ripe avocado-halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced, for serving (optional)
toast or boiled new potatoes, for serving (optional)
For the dressing
4 confit garlic cloves (see note)
8 peppercorns
3 1/2 tablespoons chicha or dry cider
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil

1
Put the finely chopped king prawns in a bowl and season with salt. Add the red onion, tomatoes, herbs, and chile and stir to combine. Set aside.
2
Next, make the dressing. Put the confit garlic in a mortar with the peppercorns and a pinch of salt, then pound with the pestle until the pepper is crushed and the garlic is well mashed. Tip this mixture into a small bowl and add the remaining dressing ingredients. Stir together thoroughly, pour the dressing over the prawns, and stir thoroughly again.
3
Allow to sit for 10 minutes, then serve on toast or with boiled new potatoes and a cheeky addition of ripe avocado slices seasoned with salt and pepper (avocado and prawn make a great partnership), if you wish.
