Spicy Fish, Prawn & Broccoli Stew
Make sure you use a firm white fish and prawns are optional in this spicy curry/stew, but if using, it's worth using the large tiger or king prawns. This is a beautifully, warming stew perfect for winter.
Ingredients - serves 4
- 500 grams firm white fish, cut into 4 cm pieces
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 large roasted capsicum, roughly chopped (optional - I used roasted red capsicum from a jar)
- 3 tablespoons curry paste or powder (depending on your preference & brand)
- 400g can crushed or cherry tomatoes
- 1-2 tsp chilli powder or sweet chilli sauce (optional)
- 400g can coconut milk or coconut cream
- 2-3 teaspoons fresh minced ginger or 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 Broccoli cut in to small florets and stem sliced
- 2 cups Fish or Vegetable Stock
- Freshly ground sea salt
- To serve – steamed brown rice or soba noodles
Method
- In a large pan, with a lid, on a medium heat, heat the oil.
- Once hot, add the onion and fry for 1 minute, add the capsicum, fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Using your spoon, make a little gap in the vegetables and place the curry paste/powder in the pan and cook off for 90 seconds, stirring constantly so it doesn’t stick or burn. Add a dash of oil or water if it gets too sticky.
- Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, a generous pinch of salt & the ginger. Cook for around 2 minutes stirring occasionally. It should simmer nicely and the flavours will all marry together nicely.
- Add the stock and stir.
- Add the broccoli, place lid on the pot and let it cook in the hot liquid for 1-2 minutes.
- Take the lid off, stir a little, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Place the fish and prawns on top of the stew and place the lid on top for 2 minutes.
- Take the lid off and check a piece of fish to see if it is just cooked. The cooking times for the fish will vary depending on the thickness of the fish and the temperature of the stew. It will take between 2-6 minutes to cook through and it will continue to cook when taken off the heat.
- Once cooked, take off the heat and enjoy with rice or noodles!
