Curried Corn With Cod Prawns Food

CURRIED SHRIMP AND CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat coconut oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, curry powder and tomato paste and saute to toast the curry powder and warm the tomato paste, about 2 minutes. Add corncobs, half the corn kernels, chicken stock, coconut milk, tamarind paste, brown sugar and salt. Stir to combine, bring to a low boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove cobs and discard. Transfer, in batches, to a blender and blend until completely smooth. (See Cook's Note.)
• Return soup to the pot and bring back to a low simmer. Add shrimp, lime juice and remaining corn. Simmer until shrimp is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and Fresno chile and serve.

CURRIED CORN

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; mix the corn, green pepper, onion, and curry powder into the melted butter, cover the skillet, and cook until the vegetables are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the sour cream into the vegetable mixture, season with salt and pepper, and continue cooking until hot, stirring continually, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

CURRIED CORN WITH COD & PRAWNS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook the corn cobs in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 10 mins. Drain and leave to cool slightly. Stand the cobs upright on a board and slice the kernels off using a sharp knife in a downward motion along the length of the cob.
• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 mins until golden and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, ground coriander, chilli and turmeric, and cook for 2 mins more. Tip in the coconut milk and tomatoes, then bring to a simmer. Arrange the cod fillets in a large roasting tin or casserole, then pour the spiced coconut and tomato mixture around the fish. Add the corn and prawns, and bake for 18-20 mins. Scatter with with fresh coriander and chillies and serve with rice and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

CORN & PRAWN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan. Fry the onion until it softens but don't allow it to brown. Add the potato, milk and stock, and bring everything to a simmer. Cook for 10 mins or until the potato is soft, then gently squash some of the potato against the side of the pan to thicken the chowder. Add the prawns and sweetcorn, and cook for another 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, spread the pitta with the garlic butter. Grill the pitta until it browns a little, then cut into strips. Serve the soup sprinkled with chives, if you like, with the garlic pitta on the side to dip.

CURRY PRAWNS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 15 mins until soft and starting to caramelise, stirring regularly. Add the garlic, ginger, tomatoes and the chilli, if using. Turn the heat up to medium and cook for another 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, if you're using shell-on prawns, prepare them now. Remove the head and, using a pair of scissors, cut down the back of the shell until you reach the last segment of shell that's attached to the tail. Cut through the top layer of flesh on the back of each prawn so it's easy to remove the vein - loosen it from the body, then with your fingers as close to the tail as possible, pull gently to remove the vein completely. You can keep the heads and shells to make a stock.
• Mix the ground spices and tamarind paste with 2 tbsp water, then add to the onion mix. Cook for 5 mins until the spices are fragrant and most of the water has evaporated.
• Stir in the coconut milk and cook for 5-10 mins until reduced to a thick gravy, then tip in the prawns. Cook for 5 mins until they are just pink, then remove from the heat. Serve with rice.
