Curried Cod Food

ROAST COD WITH COCONUT CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200ºC/fan180ºC/gas 6. For the curry sauce, put the shallots, garlic, ginger, chilli and passata/tinned tomatoes in a food processor and blend to a smooth paste. Add the chilli powder, salt, black pepper and turmeric, then bend briefly.
• Heat the 2 tbsp coconut oil or ghee in a heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat. Add the black mustard seeds and as soon as they start to pop, add the curry paste. Fry gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the creamed coconut and as soon as it has melted, add the fish or vegetable stock, coconut milk, muscovado sugar and curry leaves. Simmer gently for 15 minutes. Taste, adjust the seasoning and keep warm while you cook the fish.
• Season the cod all over with a little salt, pepper and the curry powder. Heat the 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee in a non-stick ovenproof frying pan, add the cod skin-side up and cook for 4 minutes or until nicely golden. Turn the fish over, then transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 4-5 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through.
• Bring the coconut curry sauce back to a simmer. Remove the cod from the oven, then serve golden-side up on steamed rice, if you like, with the curry sauce spooned over and scattered with the chopped coriander.

WEEKNIGHT CURRIED COD STEW

Steps:

• First prepare the aromatics and vegetables. Chop the chilis, ginger and garlic or pulse in a food blender with a bit of oil. Dice the onion finely. Also slice the carrots, dice the peppers and cut the tomatoes into rough quarters. At this point you can also rinse, pat dry and rub the fish filets with about 1/4 of the curry powder and salt.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat (about a 7/10) and add the chilis ginger, garlic and onion. Sweat for a few minutes until aromatic and then add the carrots, peppers, tomatoes, curry powder, fenugreek, and salt. Cook for about another 2-3 minutes and then pour in the coconut milk, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. This may be a good time to put some rice to cook if you like.
• Once the sauce has had a chance to cook and develop, gently place the seasoned fish filets into the pan. Once again cover and simmer for another 6-8 minutes.
• Once the fish flakes easily when pressed gently with a fork it's cooked. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh coriander over a bed of warm and fluffy basmati.
