Green Coconut Fish Curry Recipes

GREEN CURRIED FISH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large wok, and fry the onion, ginger and garlic for about 5 minutes or until softened.
• Add the green curry paste, and fry for another 2 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk, water, lime juice and fish sauce and bring to the boil.
• Reduce to a simmer and add the fish, and any of the longer-to-cook vegetables you have chosen and cook for about 5 minutes (I added the beans along with the fish).
• Also add about half the fresh coriander.
• Add the remaining softer vegetables, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, being careful not to overcook the fish, or knock it around too much as you stir through the vegetables.
• Stir through the fresh herbs gently.
• Serve in deep bowls over steamed rice, scattered with the fresh spring onions.

COCONUT FISH CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wide, lidded frying pan, then soften the onion for 5 mins. Increase the heat a little, stir in the ginger, garlic, shrimp paste, chilli and lemongrass, and cook for 2 mins. Add the curry powder and sugar, and keep stirring. When the sugar starts to melt and everything starts to clump together, add the coriander stems, coconut milk and 2 tbsp water, then bring to a simmer.
• Add the fish to the sauce, tuck the prawns in here and there, then squeeze over half the lime. Pop on the lid and simmer for 5 mins more or until the hake is just cooked and flaking, and the prawns are pink through. Taste for seasoning, adding a squeeze more lime to the sauce if you like. Scatter over the coriander leaves and serve with rice.
