Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, sliced into wedges
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 (50 g) packet green curry paste
1 (400 ml) can coconut milk (I use light)
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce
600 g fish, a white firm,strong flavoured fish is best,cut into about 2 1/2 cm chunks (we used trevally)
1 green chili, sliced
400 g assorted green vegetables (we used capsicum, snow peas, bok choy, green beans. You could also use zucchini, asparagus, brocolli)
3 spring onions, finely sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
1/2 cup basil leaves (packed)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large wok, and fry the onion, ginger and garlic for about 5 minutes or until softened.
  • Add the green curry paste, and fry for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk, water, lime juice and fish sauce and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce to a simmer and add the fish, and any of the longer-to-cook vegetables you have chosen and cook for about 5 minutes (I added the beans along with the fish).
  • Also add about half the fresh coriander.
  • Add the remaining softer vegetables, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, being careful not to overcook the fish, or knock it around too much as you stir through the vegetables.
  • Stir through the fresh herbs gently.
  • Serve in deep bowls over steamed rice, scattered with the fresh spring onions.

COCONUT CURRY FISH



Coconut Curry Fish image

Jamaican curry powder plays a major role in this deeply savory weeknight dish, giving the sauce its unique flavor and golden hue. The traditional spice blend is heavy on the turmeric, and benefits from being toasted, which brings out its notes. This recipe calls for frozen whiting, which doesn't hold up to frying but shines here, simmered in a sauce studded with red and green bell peppers. If whiting is unavailable, cod is also a good choice.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red bell peppers, deseeded and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
2 medium green bell peppers, deseeded and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 medium onion, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder (hot or mild)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
4 (6-ounce) fillets frozen fish, such as whiting or cod
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
1 lime
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, for garnish
White rice or couscous, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a medium (10-inch) saucepan with deep sides over medium-high. Drizzle in olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add red and green bell peppers and onion, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the curry powder to the pan, and toast for about 1 minute, stirring often to keep the curry from scorching. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the grated ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Place fish on top of cooked vegetables, or nestle them into the vegetables, if your pan is becoming too full. Pour coconut milk over fish and vegetables.
  • Cover and simmer over medium-low until fish is cooked and starts to flake, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Squeeze lime to taste over the top and garnish with scallions and cilantro. Serve with white rice or couscous.

Tips for Making Green Coconut Fish Curry

-
  • Use fresh coconut milk. Canned coconut milk can be used in a pinch, but fresh coconut milk will give your curry a richer, more authentic flavor.
  • -
  • Don't be afraid to add heat. Green coconut fish curry is traditionally a spicy dish. If you like your food mild, you can reduce the amount of chili peppers called for in the recipe. But if you like it hot, feel free to add more.
  • -
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your curry a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, carrots, and potatoes.
  • -
  • Cook the fish until it is just cooked through. Overcooked fish will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • -
  • Serve the curry with rice or flatbread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
