Recipe
Coconut-ginger fish stew
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
- 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.
- Nestle in the cod and bok choy; poach gently 6–8 minutes until it flakes. Add zucchini for the last 3 minutes.
- 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.
