There used to be a recipe on the back of the bag of Tilapia that I use that I was able to make "clean". Of course, I threw the last bag away without writing it down....I think this is close, if not better. You can make it in the morning and let it marinate, so that way all you have to do at dinner is throw it in a pan.
4 Tilapia fillets
1/2 shallot
2 cloves garlic
1 cup canned coconut milk (full fat)
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground corriander
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
In a blender (I love my handheld one!), blend the shallot and next 8 ingredients until smooth. Pour over tilapia fillets and marinate (if you have the time...if not, cook right then and there). Heat large skillet over medium heat and cook tilapia (and marinade), covered, for about 10 minutes. Flip fillets and cook another 10 minutes, covered.
I served it with stir-fried broccoli and roasted sweet potatoes.
If you want to add some heat to your curry, there are these little green chili peppers at the Indian Store, just put one per fillet (whole)while cooking your curry and fish, before you serve just take them out and throw them away (you don't want to actually eat them, way too spicy). They add a lot of good flavor and spice but obviously not for the kids!
ReplyDeleteAre they dried peppers or fresh? Are you talking about the little Indian store over by Walmart? I keep meaning to go in there....
