Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 large lemon)
1 large lemon, zested
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons dark rum
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pineapple, skinned and cut into 3/4-inch thick slices, or 8 canned pineapple slices in pineapple juice, drained
3 ripe but firm bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise, then halved crosswise
6 to 10 red or green grapes, halved
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • For the cream: In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream until thick. Add the sugar and beat until the cream holds stiff peaks. Beat in the yogurt, rum, and vanilla.
  • For the fruit: Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Sprinkle each side of the pineapple slices with brown sugar.

Halibut or Other Fish Steamed in Banana Leaves image

Categories     Sauce     Fish     Side     Steam     Banana     Halibut

Yield makes 4 servings as a main course, 8 as a starter

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 dried banana leaves, each about 8 inches square
1 1/2 to 2 pounds fillets of halibut, red snapper, grouper, or sea bass, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon nam pla
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1/4 cup chopped shallot
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Put at least 2 inches of water in the bottom of a steamer. Soak the banana leaves in hot water until soft, just a few seconds.
  • Toss together the fish, garlic, ginger, nam pla, sugar, and cayenne. Put a piece of the seasoned fish in the center of each of the banana leaves and top with shallot, cilantro, and a light sprinkling of salt. Fold in the sides of the leaves and seal shut with toothpicks or skewers.
  • Steam for about 15 minutes, or until the fish is done (peek into one of the packages to check). Be careful of the steaming liquid when removing the packages. Remove each of the fish pieces from its package before serving and spoon some of the juices over it.
  • Lemongrass Halibut (or Other Fish) Steamed in Banana Leaves
  • In step 2, toss the fish with 1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons minced lemongrass, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and the nam pla and sugar. Put it in the packages as directed and top with the shallots, 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives or scallion, and 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, preferably Thai basil. Seal and steam as directed.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality fish. Halibut is a great choice for this recipe, as it is a firm, flaky fish that holds up well to grilling.
  • Make sure the banana leaves are well-soaked before using them. This will help them to be more pliable and less likely to tear.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Halibut is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it just until it is opaque in the center.
  • Serve the fish immediately with the orange-pineapple relish. The relish will add a bright, tangy flavor to the fish.

Conclusion:

Yucatan marinated halibut grilled in banana leaves with orange-pineapple relish is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The halibut is tender and flaky, the banana leaves add a smoky flavor, and the orange-pineapple relish is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
