TUMERIC FISH RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Score the butterfish down to the bone on each side, and place in a large ziplock bag. 2. Cut the lemongrass and ginger into a small dice. Combine them with the remaining ingredients in a food processor, and blend until smooth. 3. Transfer the marinade into the ziplock bag with the fish, and massage to make sure the fish are coated. Let marinate in the fridge overnight, or at least 2 hours. 4. Remove the bag from the fridge and bring up to room temperature before cooking. Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes before using. Wipe excess marinade off of the fish. 5. If grilling, make sure the grill grates are well oiled, then get the grill going with high temperature. You’ll want to cook these with indirect heat, so try to heat one side of the grill fairly high, to create ambient heat. 6. If broiling, set the oven rack in the middle of the oven, preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Brush some extra coconut oil on the foil. 7. To skewer, you’ll want to use 2 bamboo skewers per set of fish. Put one skewer through the belly cavity and up through the top of the fish. The second skewer should be between the cavity and the tail, also pushing up through the top of the fish. Push the fish down the skewers, then pierce another fish on top, repeating with a third fish if desired. Place no more than three fish per skewer. 8. Broil or grill for about 3-5 minutes each side, keeping an eye on the fish so they don’t burn, as the skin is delicate. Serve with your favorite peanut sauce.

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole or Dutch oven, melt the butter and sprinkle with the turmeric. Add the chicken skin side down and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until browned on both sides, 8 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Add the onion, ginger and garlic to the casserole and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, curry powder, cinnamon, cumin and rice and stir constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pot, skin side up. Add the bay leaves, fish sauce and chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Adjust the lid to cover partially and simmer until the rice is cooked, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, uncover and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with yogurt, cucumbers, mint and lime wedges.
