I am sure that you could use any pepper, any broccoli and any spring onions. I just happened to have miniature Soletto pepper*, broccoli rabe (tenderstem broccoli) and red spring onions.
But you knew that anyway.

The term "Madagascan" sort of annoys me. Both time I have been there, the people referred to themselves as Malagasy. Maybe prawns have a different nomenclature.


*Soletto pepper are minature pepper, bred to be sweet.
