The cold weather, coupled with a low carb diet and exercise, make me crave strong flavours and meals that are healthy but really satisfying.
ThisOne-pot Thai Fish Stewticks all those boxes with aplombandis really quick to make into the bargain.One-pot mealsare hugely popular in our house (and there arequite a fewon this here blog) especially in winter.
I have used all my favourite ingredients, and Thai cooking staples, in this dish – ginger, lemongrass, chillies, fish sauce which makes for a very aromatic stew. While I can’t make any claims that this is an authentic dish, it is definitely authentically delicious!
Serve with Thai sticky rice to mop up some of the delicious sauce or, if you are really watching your carb intake, withkonjac ‘slim rice’or cauliflower rice.
I used 2 packets offish pie mixwhich is commonly sold in the UK (usually 50% salmon fillet, 25% cod fillet and 25% smoked haddock) only because that’s all I had available in my freezer, but I think the dish would be even better with a cod and salmon combo.
The stew cooks really quickly provided you have all the ingredients ready to throw in. Although I haven’t tried it, I suspect this recipe would work well withchicken breast filletsinstead of fish – make sure you replace the fish with chicken stock.
I have created a short videoto demonstrate the recipe – with the invaluable help of my husband who did most of the heavy lifting (i.e. filming and, especially, editing) while I sat nearby offering very unhelpful advice. Hope you like it!
