Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Halibut Cubes in Thai Green Curry Sauce
- add review
- #21802
under 30 minutes
ingredients
1 can (15 ounce size) unsweetened coconut milk (see note)
2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste (see note)
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
1 pound halibut steaks or fillets, skinned, boned and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium firm but ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely diced
1 handful fresh basil or mint leaves (or a combination)
directions
Do not shake coconut milk before opening can. Skim 1/4 cup of thick "cream" from surface of milk and heat it in wok or saucepan over medium heat until bubbly.
Add curry paste, green onions and green beans and cook until mixture is quite fragrant and oil begins to separate from cream.
Discard remaining cream from coconut milk if desired, then add remaining milk and fish sauce to pan. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium and cook until mixture is reduced by half.
Add fish cubes and tomatoes and simmer until fish is done, about 6 minutes. Stir in basil leaves and serve with rice.
NOTE: Coconut milk is high in saturated fat, so if you're watching calories, discard the oil-rich coconut "cream" and use 1 tablespoon peanut or corn oil when cooking the curry paste, green onions and green beans. You'll lose just a bit of the coconut flavor.
Look for Thai green curry paste in Asian markets.
