Pan Sauteed Halibut With Curried Corn Sauce And Tomato Chutney Food

BLACKENED CHUTNEY HALIBUT: "CHUTBUT"

Steps:

• Heat a cast iron skillet directly over hot coals in a barbecue until smoky hot. Alternatively, heat the skillet on the stove over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle Cajun Spice on the fish, or, for a more robust flavor, dredge the fillets in the Cajun Spice, coating both sides of fish. When the pan is hot, pour approximately 2 tablespoons of clarified butter into pan, and reduce heat to medium-high. Carefully add as many fillets as will fit in the skillet, leaving at least 1/2-inch in between each. Cook the fish for approximately 2 minutes on the first side, and then flip the fillets with a fish spatula. While flipping the fish, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons clarified butter to the pan, and sear the fish on the second side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Repeat with remaining fish fillets, adding more butter as needed.
• Serve the halibut on a bed of white or wild rice. Pour the Mango Chutney over the fish, and serve with a green salad on the side.
• Combine all ingredients together in a bowl, stirring until well mixed. Set aside for dredging fish fillets.
• Add all ingredients to a medium non-reactive saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Set aside, and keep chutney warm until ready to serve.

Steps:

• For the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Add the onions, apples and Mesa Curry Powder and cook until the onions and apples soften, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

• Brush the halibut on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until slightly charred on the first side, about 4 minutes. Flip and char the other side, another 4 minutes. If the fish is not yet cooked through, rotate the grate (instead of moving the fish) so that the fish is over indirect heat. Cover and cook another few minutes until just cooked through.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Let cool to room temperature.
• For the hummus: Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and cook, stirring constantly, until the water has almost completely evaporated. Stir in the cayenne and cool briefly.
• Put the chickpeas, curried onions, tahini, olive oil, honey and some salt and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the parsley and pulse to incorporate. Season with the lemon juice and more salt and pepper if needed.
