Coconut-ginger fish stew

Serves 225 min525 kcal / serving

Cod in a gingered coconut broth with bok choy and zucchini.

Ingredients
  • Cod — 12 oz (2 fillets, cubed)
  • Full-fat coconut milk — 1 cup
  • Water — ½ cup or stock
  • Ginger — 1 tsp
  • Lemongrass — 1 stalk, bruised
  • Bok choy — 3½ oz (2 baby)
  • Zucchini — 3½ oz (½)
  • Green-onion tops — 2 Tbsp
  • Garlic-infused olive oil — 1 Tbsp
  • Lime
  • Sea salt
Method
  1. Warm the ginger and lemongrass in the oil 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and water (stir gently); simmer 5 minutes and remove the lemongrass.
  2. Nestle in the cod and bok choy; poach gently 6–8 minutes until it flakes. Add zucchini for the last 3 minutes.
  3. Finish with green-onion tops, lime and salt.
Notes

Bruise (not chop) the lemongrass — smash the stalk with the back of a knife to release the oils, then fish it out before serving. Chopped lemongrass leaves unpleasant fibers in the broth.
