Lemon grass and lime fish stew

Lemon Grass and Lime Fish Stew

Method

 
1. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan and fry the salad onions for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, lemon grass and chilli, then continue to cook over a low heat for another 2 minutes, stirring.

2. Add the wine to the pan, increase the heat and allow to reduce for 3 minutes, then pour in the stock and lime juice and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the fish and simmer uncovered for 3 minutes or until the fish is tender but still holding its shape.

3. Add the mangetout to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes until tender. Stir in the fish sauce and ladle into warmed, wide-rimmed serving bowls. Garnish with lemon rind and coriander sprigs. Serve at once.
