For all of you who like food and cooking, try this one out. An old time favorite in our family.


Fish soup with coconut milk and tomato
-------------------------------------------------- ----
Serves 4

4 shallots
2 garlic cloves
4 sundried tomatoes in oil + 1 tablespoon oil from jar
1 chicken stock cube
3 dl water
2 dl soaked dried aduki or soya beans (I use soy beans)
2 tablespoons Ajvar relish
2 tablespoons chili sauce (Heinz type)
1 can coconut milk (400 g)
400g mixed fish species, e.g. salmon and haddock
3 vine tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1. Peel and chop the shallots and garlic finely. Fry them for a minute
in the oil from the tomatoes in a roomy pot.
2. Chop the sundried tomatoes and add to the pan. Add
stock cube, water and beans. Boil over medium heat for 20 min.
3. Add Ajvar relish chilli sauce and coconut milk. Cut the fish into smaller pieces, chop tomatoes roughly and add them to the pot. Boil for 2-3 min.
4. Distribute the soup into bowls and top with basil!

That sounds delicious!

[mikromicke]

It is

Everyone we've served it to have asked for the recipe.

That sounds good.

Just to be sure on quantities - is "dl" mean deciliters?

If that is correct, then 1 dl = 0.42 cups.

[mikromicke]

Oups, yes sorry about that. It's a Swedish recipe that I translated.

dl is deciliters and 1 cup = 2.4 dl or the other way around as you wrote it :)

I would say that it's probably a good idea to scale this up a bit if you're serving 4 adults. The pot is usually scraped clean so it wouldn't hurt to do a bit more :)

The recipe sound like Thai kitchen or another south-eastern Asian country.
Lemongrass, curry and coconut milk is a diet killer combination for me.

[mikromicke]

Nope, not so very thai or asian. It's only the coconut milk that gives some hints but the final taste is something else. Some kind of fusion I guess

I love mixing some ginger/lemongrass, chili, curry and coconut milk though. It never fails :)
