Thai Tilapia Curry

So I went searching on the internet today for a new way to cook tilapia. The kids and I are used to my amazing blackened tilapia tacos with mango salsa, but we had Mexican food during the Super Bowl…and the search began. I came across this delicious sounding dish that pulls my heart strings…I love Thai food. Now to make this dish tomorrow for dinner…Thai Tilapia Curry. I found the recipe at pescafreshblog.com.

Ingredients :

• 1 tbsp coconut oil (or any cooking oil)
• 1 small red onion
• 1 bunch of green beans
• 1 large carrot
• 1 red pepper
• 1 can coconut milk
• 3 tbsp Thai red curry paste
• 3 tilapia fillets
• Diced cilantro
• 1 green onion
• Lime
• Pinch of salt

Directions :

1. Heat a large pan to medium heat.
2. Melt coconut oil in the pan, and saute onion until it starts to soften.
3. Add green beans and cook for about 5 minutes.
4. Add carrot and red pepper.
5. Add curry paste and coconut milk to the pan. Stir until the curry paste is fully dissolved into the coconut milk.
6. Cook for 5 minutes.
7. Add fish and cook for 5 to 6 minutes (until done).
8. Add salt to taste.
9. Serve on top of your favorite rice, millet, or quinoa.
10. Garnish with cilantro, green onion, and a wedge of lime.

This dish is loaded with flavor and makes a lovely, colorful presentation. The tilapia can be substituted for shrimp, and other veggies could be used.

Sounds amazing and I cannot wait to try this. Enjoy it everyone.
