This should taste mild with just a hint of heat so it doesn’t distract the subtle taste of the cod
Ingredients:
Rapeseed oil
2 tsp red thai curry paste I use Namjai which is as close to the real thing as you will get
2 tbsp fish sauce, I use Squid Brand (or to taste)
1 stick lemon grass, finely chopped
Handful mange tout
1 can coconut milk
Half chopped aubergine
Fillet sustainable cod, buy from a fishmonger, a little more expensive but the taste is sublime
Handful coriander
Method
Heat oil and gently fry of paste until fragrant, around 4 mins
Add lemon grass , 2 mins
Add Fish sauce and fry off until evaporated
Add coconut mild and simmer
Add aubergine and simmer for around 5 mins, add mange tout, cook for around 3 mins
Add fish fillet, cover with lid and simmer gently for 3 mins
Remove from pan, sprinkle over coriander and serve with choice of greens, I used Samphire steamed for 5 mins
Top with fresh chilli if you need more heat
Enjoy with a cold beer……
