Coconut Curry Fish With Sweet Potatoes And Eggplant Recipes

COCONUT-CURRY FISH WITH SWEET POTATOES AND EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Stir together coconut milk, curry paste, and eggplant in a large straight-sided skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Stir in sweet potatoes and basil sprig; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring a few times, until potatoes are almost tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Generously season fish with salt and nestle into skillet until partially submerged. Cook, partially covered, gently shaking skillet a few times, until just cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove basil sprig. Serve with rice, topped with basil leaves, chiles, and lime wedges.

COCONUT CURRY FISH

Steps:

• Bring the water and rice to a boil in a pot. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 45 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook 1 minute. Mix in cod, and season with curry powder, chili powder, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour in the coconut milk, and mix in frozen vegetables. Cover, and cook 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and cod is easily flaked with a fork.
• Drain 1/2 cup liquid from the skillet into a bowl, and mix with cornstarch. Stir back into skillet to thicken sauce. Serve over the cooked rice.

RED THAI COCONUT CURRY WITH EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Wrap tofu in several layers of paper towels. Place in a colander in the sink. Set a plate on top of tofu and weigh down with a large, heavy can. Let stand for at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, shake cans of coconut milk well prior to opening. Pour 1/2 of 1 can into a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in curry paste until well blended. Add eggplant, onion, and bell pepper, stirring well with a rubber spatula to prevent breaking of tender eggplant during cooking.
• Stir remaining 1 1/2 cans coconut milk, dark brown sugar, tamari, rice vinegar, and salt into the saucepan. Mix well. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Unwrap tofu and cut into bite-sized cubes. Stir into curry mixture. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add peas and cook until warm, 1 to 2 minutes more.

COCONUT CURRY FISH

Steps:

• Heat a medium (10-inch) saucepan with deep sides over medium-high. Drizzle in olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add red and green bell peppers and onion, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the curry powder to the pan, and toast for about 1 minute, stirring often to keep the curry from scorching. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the grated ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Place fish on top of cooked vegetables, or nestle them into the vegetables, if your pan is becoming too full. Pour coconut milk over fish and vegetables.
• Cover and simmer over medium-low until fish is cooked and starts to flake, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Squeeze lime to taste over the top and garnish with scallions and cilantro. Serve with white rice or couscous.

GREEN CURRY FISH WITH THAI EGGPLANTS

Steps:

• Do not shake the can of coconut milk before opening, so the cream remains on the top. Spoon about 1/2 to 2/3 cup of this thick cream into a medium-size sauce pan and heat over medium to high heat. Reduce until the cream is smooth and bubbly and the oil begins to separate. Add the curry past and fry in the cream until the aromas are released - about 3-5 minutes. Then add the remaining milk.
• Bring to a boikl and add the fish. Bring back up to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes before adding the eggplants. Simmer a few minutes more, then add the peas and kaffir lime leaves. Season to taste with fish sauce (may not be needed with some brands of curry pastes which are already salted). Add palm sugar to balance and enhance the spice and herb flavors. Continue to simmer until the eggplants and peas are tender. Stir in the basil and chillies (if desired) and cook another 1-2 minutes.
• Serve over hot fluffy steamed rice.
