COCONUT MANGO GREEN CURRY COCKTAIL SAUCE



Coconut Mango Green Curry Cocktail Sauce image

Yesterday I served Christmas Brunch for my family. This year I was not my typical over-the-top foodie self and opted for a simple brunch. My one signature "Star" of the meal was a Shrimp cocktail bar with 4 very different types of cocktail sauces. I searched the internet for ideas, recipes, and was able to compile my taste buds and about 100 recipes into four choices. This one was REALLY good....rated as second best of the four. Since I'm a big fan of Green Curry lately, I really really loved it!

Time 40m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons green curry paste
3 mangoes, peeled, pit removed, roughly diced
1 small red onion, roughly diced
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
2 serrano chili peppers, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon lime zest
salt, to season
pepper, to season

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients except the cilantro into a sauce pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and cool for a few minutes. Place in a blender or use a hand held blender to puree mixture.
  • Place back in the sauce pot, cook over medium to medium-low heat and reduce to your desired thickness.
  • When making this sauce for shrimp cocktail, I like it much thicker so I did use about a tablespoon of cornstarch -- made a slurry -- and brought back up to a boil to thicken a bit. If you do this, however, do not use too much cornstarch that would alter the flavor.
  • Chill the sauce before serving. Add cilantro right before serving.
  • This sauce can also be used as a sauce for any other dishes -- chicken, vegetables, etc. On the heat scale, I would place it as a 2 out of 5 -- a little kick but not much. Add additional Serranos if you desire more heat.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 (1 1/2 pound) live lobsters
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
16 skewers, soaked in cold water
Green Curry-Mango Sauce, recipe follows
Chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
4 ounces black caviar, optional
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup canola oil
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 serrano chile, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons green curry paste
3 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
2 cups water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobsters and boil until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high. Drain the lobsters and put them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Then drain the lobsters well, remove the tail from the lobster, and carefully remove the tail meat from the shell.
  • Skewer each tail onto 2 skewers so that the meat lies flat. Brush the tails with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until slightly charred.
  • Place the lobster skewers on a platter and drizzle with some of the sauce over top. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and garnish with lime wedges. Top with dollops of caviar, if desired. Serve the remaining sauce in small bowls for individual dipping.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and serrano chile and cook for 1 minute. Add the curry paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add mangoes and water, stir well, and cook until the mango is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender (see *Cook's Note below). Add the lime juice, cilantro, and honey and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup oil and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Categories     Dairy     Ginger     Coconut     Lemongrass     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

a 1-inch piece fresh gingerroot
1 stalk fresh lemongrass*
1/2 cup mirin*
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk*
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons Thai green curry paste*
*available at Asian markets and some specialty foods shops and by mail order from Uwajimaya,tel. (800) 889-1928.

Steps:

  • Peel gingerroot and finely chop. Discard outer leaf from lemongrass and trim root end. Thinly slice lower 8 inches of stalk and in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan combine with gingerroot and mirin. Boil mixture until mirin is reduced to about 3 tablespoons. Add white wine and boil until liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add coconut milk and cream and boil, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly. Pour sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl and stir in curry paste. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Sauce may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat sauce before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe mangoes: Ripe mangoes are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which will make for a more flavorful sauce.
  • Toast the coconut flakes before using them: Toasting the coconut flakes will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a good quality green curry paste: The green curry paste is the key ingredient in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a paste that is made with fresh, flavorful ingredients.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level: If you like your food spicy, you can add more green curry paste or chili peppers to taste. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can use less green curry paste or omit the chili peppers altogether.
  • Serve the sauce immediately: This sauce is best served immediately after it is made, while it is still fresh and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This Coconut-Mango Green Curry Cocktail Sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for dipping shrimp, chicken, or vegetables, or as a marinade for grilled meats. It can also be used as a sauce for stir-fries or noodles. With its sweet, spicy, and savory flavor, this sauce is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
