Coconut Fish Soup - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 lbs fish heads, and carcasses (white fish, like snapper or cod)
7 cups water
1 large onion, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 chili, small & left whole
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups unsweetened coconut cream (I use coconut-flavoured reduced skim milk for a low-fat version)
6 -12 lemon slices
6 green onions, chopped
Preparation
-
Bring first 6 ingredients to simmering point and maintain gently until fish is soft and stock is full of flavour.
Skim periodically for a clear broth.
Strain off stock and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Alternatively, you may use a commercial fish stock, but it will taste entirely different and not authentic.
Stir in lemon juice & coconut cream and heat thoroughly - DO NOT BOIL.
Serve in bowls. Garnish with lemon slices & chopped green onions.
