Star Fruit In Mango Orange Sauce Food

STAR FRUIT IN MANGO-ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the slices of star fruit in a pot on the stove.
• Add the orange juice. Stir well and turn heat to high until juice begins to boil.
• Lower the heat and allow the juice to simmer for 10 minutes, or until the star fruit has softened enough to easily cut into with a spoon. While cooking, gently move the slices around and turn them over so they all get cooked equally.
• Remove any more brown seeds that may loosen and surface.
• While the star fruit is cooking, place the mango in a food processor, mini chopper , or blender. Process or blend until smooth and pureed. Set aside.
• When the star fruit is nearly done, add the sugar/sweetener and stir to dissolve. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Add the mango puree, stirring well to incorporate. Taste for sweetness, adding more sugar if needed (how sweet it is will depend on the ripeness of the fruit/juice you're using).
• Portion out 3 star fruit slices per bowl with enough sauce to surround the fruit.
• Drizzle over some coconut milk.
• Top each bowl with a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds or cherry pieces, if using.

MAHI MAHI WITH MANGO-VANILLA COULIS

Steps:

• For the coulis: Combine the mango, orange juice, 1/4 cup water, ginger, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth and pour into a small saucepan. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the saucepan using a paring knife. Add the empty vanilla pods. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, about 6 minutes. Remove and discard the vanilla pods. Whisk in the butter until smooth.
• For the fish: Heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Sprinkle the fish with the salt and pepper on both sides. Cook the fish until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes on each side.
• Arrange the fish on a platter and spoon the coulis on top.

DUCK WITH PASSION FRUIT & ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to score the fatty skin on the duck breasts in a diamond pattern - this helps the fat to drain off. Set aside. Halve the passion fruit, scoop out the pulp into a small bowl and reserve.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan on a medium heat and cook the duck breasts, skin-side-down, for 5-6 mins until the skin is golden. Turn them over and cook for 6-7 mins more until tender. Take care - the fat can spit.
• Set aside the duck on two warm plates. Drain off all but 1 tbsp of duck fat and cook the garlic until it starts to turn golden - no more or it will burn and taste bitter. Stir in the passion fruit pulp, orange juice, sugar and soy sauce. Bring to the boil and let it bubble away until reduced by two-thirds, about 7-10 mins. Season, then pour in any of the juices from the duck.
• Pass the sauce through a sieve, then pick out a few of the little black pips and add them to the sauce for decoration and crunch. Spoon a little sauce around each duck breast and serve with the rocket salad and rice.

MANGO-ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small stainless steel sauce pan on low heat.
• Add mango chutney and orange juice. Whisk to combine.
• Add cornstarch to the pan, whisking constantly to prevent clumps. Add the water in a slow, steady stream, whisking continuously.
• Sauce is finished when smooth and just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
