Brazilian Banana fish
banana fish what
it works though seriously and im going to show you how watch this first of al we make our base
the old onion
people think it's a bit weird and it does sound weird but
you think about the Caribbean and places like that where they use planting and
and they cook it
you know with fried fish
the savoury really does come together
a bit of chilli cut the end off
and then just go like that
all the seeds are gone
im going ot do it
in little match sticks
now dont forget if you take the seeds out of the membrane you just taste that really nice
fruity flavour whats the best friend with onion
a bit of garlic
now you just want to sweat this down
see it starts to go translucent a little bit that means that its
sweating and its bringing all the natural sugars out okay a bit of salt just helps it on the way
if you're outside
as you can see the flame has got a mind of its own going all over the gaf
so put a lid on to just bring it u to the heat when you have a nice heat and its bubbling away
take the lid off and let it just sweat down
tea break
lets have a look its bubbling away its gone translucent thats ready now for the tin
tomato
in we go
you could actually
blitz it up with a little hand processor or something like that
im just going to mash it like this yeah
because i want to keep it as street as possible we've got no electric out here add a nice bit of fish stock
so im going in with about three ladles to one tin of tomato
so i have my fish stock in there i have my tin tomatoes
my lovely sweat down onions chilli and garlic lid on bring it to the boil because i want to
reduce it by half its
going to take about ten minutes to come up and in about another ten minutes to reduce
so im going to crack on with prepping my fish
right so
this is a plantain right its a type of banana
and this is going to b in our dish now you can use a
normal banana but its to to be unripe its got to have a bit of body behind it becasue its going to
poaching away and we dont want it to go to
mush
you cant eat that raw
right you will have a bad belly im not going to lie to you
nice sweet
banana
with this creamy silky fish
let the sit there lid back on for 2 seconds now ive got this
lovely bit of
cod okay you can use pollock sea bass is good but its very
expensive
pollack is probably your best bet its like cod its nice and meaty it
flakes well
it's a bit cheaper
and plus is more sustainable more importantly
im just going to season it up
not over season because i have a nice bit of seasoning
going on
in my tomato sauce already were just poaching it in there look at that
beautiful do you know what
im going to throw a bit of basil in there
lid on
ten fifteen minutes see you in a bit lovely
the police go clear
go on
now we are back in the room
that fish stock really does
do the trick
it just brings the ocean into this dish
here we go i have a little bowl
ive got a little banana leaf there i'm going to get the fish on first
