CARIBBEAN STYLE CURRY COD

Steps:

• Place the fish chunks in a medium sized bowl and sprinkle all of the listed ingredients to marinate the fish. Set aside to refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
• On medium heat, melt the coconut oil then add the fish chunks and proceed to seal each side. The fish will be opaque when sealed, be careful not to keep turning the fish. We are only sealing, not cooking it.
• Once sealed, remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add some more coconut oil if required, melt, then saute the onion, scallion, garlic and ginger until soft and translucent.
• Add the bell peppers and cook until soft for 5 minutes
• Once the bell peppers are cooked add the herbs and spices - black pepper, thyme, parsley, fish seasoning.
• Stir in the tamarind paste and tomato
• Finally pour in the coconut milk, water, scotch bonnet and pink salt to taste.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and simmer on medium-low heat for 30 minutes.
• Around the 20 minute mark, add the fish chunks pushing down so the sauce covers it, cover the pan again and allow to thoroughly cook for the remaining 10 minutes.
• Serving accordingly.

RUNDOWN (JAMAICAN CODFISH CURRY)

Steps:

• Lightly salt both sides of the fish. Put in the fridge for about an hour; no less than 30 minutes and no more than 24 hours.
• Put oil in a deep skillet over med-high heat for one minute. Add garlic, onion, chile and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and tomato; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by half.
• Rinse the fish; add it to the pot. Adjust heat so that mixture bubbles steadily but not violently. Fish should be done in about 10 minutes. If you put a thin-bladed knife through it, it should meet little resistance. Add lime juice.
