2011-08-17

Ingredients

  • 4 red snapper fillets, skin and bones removed
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 large piece fresh ginger, cut into sticks
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 limes
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • lime wedges and sliced spring onions to decorate

For the coconut rice

  • 150g basmati rice
  • 300ml coconut milk
  • 200ml water
  • 2 star anis
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • fresh seasoning

Method

Before starting this recipe it is important that you soak the basmati rice in water for 30 minutes before cooking, to prevent the grains from sticking together. When ready, put the coconut milk and star anis in a saucepan with 200ml water and bring to the boil. Add the pre-soaked rice, stir and cook till the rice is soft. (You may need to add a little more water during cooking) Meanwhile, as the rice is slowly cooking, start preparing the fish. Take two pieces of foil, and cover each piece with a large square of oven paper. Place the sliced spring onions in the middle of each piece, and place a 2 red snapper fillets on top. Sprinkle over the ginger pieces, and then pour over the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and a squeeze of lime juice. Place 2 or 3 slices of lime on top, and then fold up the foil and paper to seal the fish. Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake in the oven at 180`c, for about 10 minutes. When the coconut rice is cooked, remove the star anis and season to taste. Add the sliced spring onion and chopped coriander to the rice and mix well. When ready to serve, place some of the coconut rice on to each serving plate and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Remove the cooked red snapper from the foil, and place beside the coconut rice. Drizzle any juices from the foil parcels over the fish and serve with a squeeze of lime juice on top. Decorate with sliced spring onions and lime wedges.

  • 2 spring onions imqattgħa
  • 1 biċċa ġinġer kbira friska mqattgħa fi strixxi
  • 2 mgħaref zalza tas-sojja
  • 1 kuċċarina ħall tar-ross
  • 2 limes
  • 1 kuċċarina żejt tal-ġunġlien
  • flieli tal-lime u biċċiet tal-ispring onions biex iżżejjen

Għar-ross tal-ġewż tal-Indi

  • 150g ross basmati
  • 300ml ħalib tal-ġewż tal-Indi
  • 200ml ilma
  • 2 stilel tal-ħlewwa
  • 1 kuċċarina żerriegħa tal-ġunġlien inkaljat
  • 1 spring onion imqattgħa rqiqa
  • 1 mgħarfa kożbor frisk imqatta’
  • ħwawar friski

Method

Qabel tibda r-riċetta importanti li titfa’ r-ross basmati fl-ilma għal 30 minuta qabel ma ssajru biex tevita li jeħel ma’ xulxin. Meta jkun lest, itfa’ l-ħalib tal-ġewż tal-Indi u l-ħlewwa flimkien f’kazzola ma’ 200ml ilma u ħallih jiftaħ jagħli. Żid ir-ross li tkun xarrabt minn qabel u sajjar sakemm ir-ross jirtab (jista’ jkun li jkollok bżonn titfa’ aktar ilma waqt is-sajran). Sakemm ir-ross ikun qed isir, ibda pprepara l-ħut. Poġġi biċċa karta forn kwadra kbira fuq żewġ biċċiet fojl. Itfa’ l-ispring onions imqattgħa fin-nofs ta’ kull biċċa u fuqhom poġġi 2 fletti tal-paġell. Ferrex il-biċċiet tal-ġinġer fuqhom imbagħad itfa’ l-ħall tar-ross, iz-zalza tas-sojja, iż-żejt tal-ġunġlien u ftit meraq tal-lime. Poġġi 2 jew 3 biċċiet lime fil-wiċċ imbagħad geżwer il-fojl u l-karta forn biex tissiġilla l-ħuta. Poġġihom f’dixx u sajjar fil-forn f’temperatura ta’ 180oC għal madwar 10 minuti. Meta r-ross tal-ġewż tal-Indi jkun lest, neħħi l-istilel tal-ħlewwa u ħawwar għat-togħma. Żid il-biċċiet tal-ispring onion u l-kożbor imqatta’ mar-ross u ħawwad sew. Biex isservi, itfa’ ftit ross tal-ġewż tal-Indi fuq kull platt u ferrex iż-żerriegħa tal-ġunġlien inkaljat. Neħħi l-biċċiet tal-ħut mill-fojl u poġġihom maġenb ir-ross tal-ġewż. (għal 2 persuni)
