Ingredients:
• 4 – red snapper fillets, each weighing approx. 180 g
• 2 – large Sweet Potatoes (1 cm thick slices)
• 1 tbsp – pickled ginger, root cut into thin ribbons
• 1 tsp – mild red chilli, finely chopped
• 2 large limes (juice)
• 1 tsp – palm Sugar
• 6 tbsp – Peanut oil
• 1 tsp – chopped Shallot
• 1 tbsp – chopped coriander
• For stuffed snow peas:
• 250 g – Carrots (thick slices)
• 1/2 tsp – cumin
• 2 tbsp – white Vinegar
• 2 tbsp – Olive oil
• 1 Clove Garlic
• 1/4 tsp – fresh Ginger
• 1 pinch Cinnamon
• 2 tbsp – Pine Nuts
• 1 slice white bread
• 1-1/2 cups – tempura flour
• ice cold water
Method:
- Make the carrot stuffing for the snow peas by boiling the sliced carrots in salted water until very soft.
- Drain, then blend with the remaining ingredients to a smooth, stiff paste.
- Blanch the snow peas in boiling water and shock in ice-water.
- Carefully open the top seam of the pod, remove the seeds and mix them with the stuffing.
- Using a piping bag, pipe the stuffing into the pods, set to one side.
- Blanch the sweet potato until almost cooked, brush with oil and place them in a pre-heated grill and grill for around 2 minutes.
- Once grilled, transfer to a dish and pour over the dressing and keep warm.
- Season the fish fillets with salt, fresh ground red pepper and lemon juice.
- Score the skin using a shape knife and dust with a little chickpea flour before frying in the oil.
- Dust the stuffed snow peas with tempura flour.
- Then dip them into the batter.
- Deep fry in hot oil preferably peanut oil (the batter should not be too thick or too thin and there should be a thin layer surrounding the pea making the colours visible).
- Arrange the sweet potatoes in the centre of the plate.
- Place the red snapper on top. Pour some of the dressing over both the fish and potato.
- Place the snow pea tempura on top of the fish.
