Blue grenadier fish with peanut yoghurt sauce

Two weeks ago I was challenged to combining white fish with yoghurt. My mind raced – there are a lot of possibilities. Fish curry, fish tacos with yoghurt or baked yoghurt, lemon and garlic fish. I thought I’d try something more Asian inspired – a cuisine I don’t cook very often. So I made grilled fish with peanut yoghurt sauce.

I opted for blue grenadier because it was the only white fish I could buy at short notice from a generic supermarket that wasn’t farmed or imported from Asia.

Ingredients:
  • 2 large pieces of blue grenadier
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 2 teaspoons sweet soy sauce
  • 1 small chili (finely sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 table spoon natural peanut butter (100% peanuts)
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoon natural Greek yoghurt.
Method:
  • Grill the fish until brown on both sides
  • Meanwhile heat oil in a pan
  • Add garlic and cook until fragrant
  • Add sweet soy sauce, chili and lime juice
  • Mix in the natural peanut butter and water
  • Once the peanut butter has dissolved and the mixture thickens take off heat
  • Add yoghurt and keep mixing until well combined
  • Cut each piece of fish in half and top with sauce – two large pieces of fish should serve 4.
I served the fish with fried rice but steamed rice, noodles or Vietnamese salad would work perfectly.

 


Well I would say this challenged was a SUCCESS. Mr Bball was a fan and devoured the rest for lunch and dinner the next day. I was lucky to sneak a little for my lunch too. Even nicer the next day.

Bring on the next challenge!

My farewell fun yoghurt fact…’Yoghurt can be made by any mammal that produces milk, be it goat, sheep, water buffalo, yak or camel!’*

Challenge 3 - Milo and Yoghurt - I think it's my best!

Image
My workmate elegantly put up on my blog "Milo and Yoghurt...go!" This one I had to say excited me. Everytime I eat milo I feel like a kid again. That's what I love about food, it's ability to take you back to memorable moments in your life. Even a piece of kraft single cheese on a piece of toast reminds me of all the amazing times I had at my grandma's growing up. Time at grandma's house with my cousins was always my favourite part of the school holidays. So yes, I was excited and I felt like a kid again. Growing up I used to love eating chocolate mousse, it was just beautiful. So a milo and yoghurt mousse came straight to mind. Smooth, rich and light. However milo itself isn't overly sweet and the yoghurt will make the mousse rather tart. So I thought it needed something to even out the flavour. Like lemon compliments tequila, strawberries compliment chocolate. So I thought a sweet strawberry compote would work well. In terms of visuals, I needed somethin...

Thai meatballs

Image
I think meatballs are one of the most diverse dishes of all time - cooked in tomato sauce in Italy and Greece, wrapped in flatbread in Turkey, served in hot soup in Vietnam or covered in gravy in Sweden. When done well, they are moist, delicious and a great cheap eat. When done badly they are dry and tasteless.  Lending itself to so many different creations, I like to experiment with the humble meatball. For this dish you can use traditional coconut milk however for a tangy and creamy twist, you can use yoghurt. Go with your gut.  Ingredients: 500g pork or beef 1/2inch of ginger, grated 2 cloves of garlic, crushed 1 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon of crushed lemongrass 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons of coriander 1 red chili (small or ½ big chili – remove seeds if you don’t like spice) ½ teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon flour 1 tablespoons of thai paste (you can use green curry paste if you like or follow the below recipe) 3/4 cup of chicken stock ½ ...

Chocolate peanut butter balls

Image
We were going to visit family for morning tea when I had a moment of panic and realised I had nothing to take. In these situations no bake bites are my go to. They are easy, simple and need very few ingredients. Whatever is in the pantry, you can put in a mixing ball with some melted butter and chocolate and you have a quick sweet treat. That day, I was wanting to feel like a kid again so looked for ingredients that would conjure up fond childhood memories. That ingredient for me is peanut butter. Peanut butter with honey on toast was my weekend indulgence. I loved the sweet and salty combination.  So with almond biscuits in the pantry and an abundance of peanut butter at my disposal I got to work. This week’s blog recipe is chocolate peanut butter balls. What you make with things from the pantry.
