Ingredients

Coconut rice

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • Pinch of salt

Pineapple and star anise chutney

  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (flesh and juice)
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped coriander leaves and stalks

Greens

  • 200g green beans, ends trimmed
  • ½ bag baby spinach leaves

Red curry spiced fish

  • 300g fish fillets
  • 1–1 ½ tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream

Steps

  1. a full kettle to the boil.
  2. Combine rice, water, coconut cream and salt in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  3. Combine all pineapple and star anise chutney ingredients (except coriander) in a small pot. Bring to the boil then reduce to lowest heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until liquid has almost evaporated. Remove from heat and stir through coriander.
  4. Slice green beans 1cm. Place in a medium heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave for about 5 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain then set aside.
  5. Pat fish dry, remove any remaining scales and bones and cut into 3–4cm pieces. Add to a bowl with curry paste and coconut cream and toss to coat. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook fish for 2–3minutes each side, or until just cooked. Remove from pan and keep warm.
  6. Add green beans to the same pan used to cook fish and stir-fry for 30 seconds to warm through. Add spinach and cook for a further 30 seconds, or until spinach has wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. spoon ¾ cup cooked rice per person onto each plate and top with greens and red curry spiced fish. Serve with a dollop of pineapple and star anise chutney.
