Stir-Fried Prawns With Fennel & Broccoli

Yesterday we both got home from work late, so we wanted something quick and easy - and using store cupboard ingredients so we didn't have to run to the supermarket.  So, into the wok went a chopped onion and garlic, plus half a bulb of fennel we had kicking about.  We added in a packet of frozen prawns, plus a head of broccoli that had really seem better days.  All this got quickly stir-fried with the juice of a lime (another forgotten-in-the-fridge find) and some soy sauce, then tipped over some freeze-dried noodles. 

For a dinner that took fifteen minutes to make, it was delicious.  



The stirfry was lovely, but the pudding really made the whole meal.

CHERRIES!


I adore cherries.  I really do.  My heart jumps for joy when I see them for sale on the little fruit stand outside the tube.   I think they're the perfect fruit - bite-sized, no peeling required, and you can play counting games with the stones to work out what profession your future husband will have.  What could be better?
