❃❃Serves 4❃❃
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400, cover a cookie sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on cookie sheet.
Chop onion, slice squash, slice zucchini, chop cilantro, chop red pepper, slice jalapenos, chop carrots into slices, cut potatoes into bite size pieces and chop garlic.
Begin to heat oil in a high side pot with a heavy bottom such as a Dutch oven or in a caste iron skillet. Heat oil to 375.
Fish
Place flour in a bowl or on a plate, whisk egg and place in a bowl and place panko in a bowl or on a plate. Coat each piece of fish in the flour fully but lightly coating, completely cover in the egg mixture and finally thoroughly coat in the panko.
Once oil is heated add each piece of fish to the oil ensuring that the coating is browned and crispy on all sides. The fish does not have to be fully cooked as it will finish in the oven. As fish is done place it on the cooling rack and finish the fish in the oven for 12 – 15 minutes.
Curry and Vegetables
Add the oil to the skillet or pan over medium high heat and add onions, carrots, salt and pepper. Cook until carrots and onions begin to soften. Add garlic and cook for half a minute. Add white wine to pan and scrape up any bits from the bottom. Add potatoes, red curry and jalapenos. Allow to cook until the liquid is almost gone in the pan. On high heat add 1 cup of the chicken stock and allow to cook until almost fully gone. Add the next cup of stock and continue to cook until absorbed and finally add the final cup of stock and allow to cook until liquid is reduced by half. Add squash, zucchini, red pepper and coconut milk to the pan. Allow to cook until vegetables have become slightly soft and off the heat add the bean sprouts and cilantro. This process with the curry should take about 25-30 minutes.
Assembly
Place a quarter of the mixture onto each plate and top with one piece of fish. Garnish with a leaf of cilantro and serve.
