SPINACH AND COCONUT SOUP



Spinach and Coconut Soup image

This came from the book 'Entertaining with Cranks'. The page with this recipie has dropped out, therefore I have adapted it. It is absolutely delicious.

Provided by wizkid

Categories     Spinach

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb spinach
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large potato, finely diced
2 ounces butter
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 ounces creamed coconut, finely chopped
1 1/2 pints vegetable stock
1/4 pint single cream
black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan.
  • add the onions and the garlic and gently cook until transparent.
  • add the potato and fry for 5 minutes longer.
  • add the spinach and the vegetable stock and simmer until the potatoes are cooked (approximately 10 minutes).
  • put into the blender and blend thoroughly.
  • return to the saucepan and a low heat.
  • add the creamed coconut and stir until melted.
  • add the single cream.
  • add plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
  • serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the freshest fish, purchase it from a reputable seafood market or directly from a fisherman. Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
  • When selecting spinach, choose leaves that are deep green and crisp. Avoid wilted or yellowing leaves.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor and texture. Light coconut milk will result in a thinner, less flavorful sauce.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can place the fish and spinach on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake them at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
  • Serve the coconut spinach snapper with your favorite sides, such as rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This coconut spinach snapper recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fish. The delicate flavor of the snapper pairs perfectly with the creamy coconut sauce and the earthy spinach. This dish is also packed with nutrients, thanks to the healthy fats in the coconut milk and the vitamins and minerals in the spinach.
