5 | dried red chillies, cored and deseeded |
1/2 | small red pepper, chopped |
5 | shallots, chopped |
4 | cloves garlic, chopped |
4 | tablespoons vegetable oil |
450 | g fish steaks (cod, monkfish, salmon, or snapper) |
fresh coriander sprigs, to garnish |
|
rice and lime juice, to serve |
1 | Put chillies in the food processor. Pour 4 tablespoons hot water over and leave until softened. Add red pepper (capsicum), shallots and garlic. Mix to a coarse paste. |
2 | In a frying pan (skillet) over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add fish and fry until lightly browned on both sides and almost, but not quite, cooked through. Using a fish slice, transfer to paper towels to drain. |
3 | Add remaining oil to pan. Add chilli paste and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes until paste looks dryish. Stir in 2 tablespoons water. Lower heat, return fish to pan and baste with chilli paste. Cook gently for 1-2 minutes, basting with paste. Garnish with coriander ( cilantro), and serve with rice and with plenty of lime juice squeezed over |
