Eurasian Fish Stew Fish Molee Recipes

Steps:

• Ensure the fish is dry. Wipe with kitchen napkins. Salt and pepper each side of the fish with a sprinkle of each.
• Heat the oil in the pan on high heat until smoking.
• Put the fish in the pan and sizzle until it browns a little on each side. Chuck in the curry leaves as well. Make sure you don't cook the fish through. 30 secs should be enough. Plate.
• Turn the fire down and saute the garlic, ginger, onions, turmeric, pandan leaf, chilli until fragrant. Put in the coconut milk or the milk/healthier option and throw in the capsicum and if using, the egg plant, and french beans.
• Cover and stew until the milk reduces a bit and egg plant and french beans are cooked.
• Put in the fish and curry leaves and baste then warm through.
• Squeeze in the lime juice. The sour shouldn't dominate but should calm the sweetness of the coconut milk and pandan leaf.
• Serve with HOT rice.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the fennel seeds, carrots, celery and garlic, and cook for 5 mins until starting to soften. Tip in the leeks, tomatoes and stock, season and bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 15-20 mins until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly.
• Add the fish, scatter over the prawns and cook for 2 mins more until lightly cooked. Ladle into bowls and serve with a spoon.
