Cooking Tools Required

Cutting board, Dutch Oven, Food Processor, Measuring cups and spoons, Sharp Knives

Ingredients

3 pound cod fillet or pollock or other white fish
2 teaspoon mustard seeds
4 teaspoon avocado oil
27 ounce canned lite coconut milk
2 teaspoon tamari sauce gluten-free soy
3 lime
1 teaspoon maple syrup to taste
26 ounce broccolini
30 ounce frozen riced cauliflower

FOR THE SPICE PASTE

3 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 onion large halved
2 fresh red chili double if you want more kick
4 clove garlic
2 ½ inch fresh ginger piece
1 ½ ounce fresh cilantro leaves and stalks kept separate – use the stalks only in the paste (reserve the leaves for later)
2 tablespoon water

Instructions

Cook the cauliflower rice per the package instructions.
In a food processor, blend the spice paste ingredients together until smooth – you might need to pulse a few times first.
Cut the fish into 2 inch cubes and season with a little salt and pepper. In a medium saucepan, gently toast the mustard seeds until they pop then add the ghee; add the paste. Turn up the heat and fry for about a minute, stirring regularly to stop the bottom from catching.
Add the coconut milk and bring to a medium simmer, put the lid on for 5 minutes. Add the fish cubes to the sauce and gently poach, covered, for about 3-4 minutes, until cooked through.
Meanwhile, trim the tenderstem broccolini and cook it in lightly salted boiling water for no more than 3 min so it's still tender. Drain and chill so it stopps cooking and maintain the bright green color.
Turn off the heat, add the tamari and squeeze over lots of lime juice. Season to taste, adding the maple syrup if you think it needs a little sweetness for balance. Serve topped with the reserved cilantro leaves, with broccolini and caluflower rice.
Be careful not to over cook the fish. If overcooked, it becomes tough and will not taste as good.

Reheating Instructions

This dish doesn't freeze well, if frozen, the fish will become more tough. To reheat we'd recommend using either your stovetop or your oven. Set the oven to around 275 degrees fahrenheit, place the fish curry into a casserole or oven proof dish, cover with tinfoil and reheat for around 10 - 15 minutes.
