Pomelo Salad with Peanuts, Mint, and Chile image

It may take some effort to peel pomelo, but I love the mildly sweet flesh. It's so much better than grapefruit, in my opinion! I was inspired to try it in a Thai-style salad that was a little sweet and a little sour with hints of spice and funk. Enjoy!

  • Cut Trout into 6 even pieces and place them into a deep tray and pour the chilled coconut marinade over the top. Leave the trout to marinade covered in the fridge over night.
  • The next day, place seasoned trout with salt and oil the pans. Place the trout in and leave for a minute.

  • In a wok on medium heat with 2 liters of peanut oil and bring up to between 160 degrees-180 degrees C. Place the chilies into the wok and fry for around 20 seconds.

Once it starts to turn a light golden, stand by it and have a strainer and a container ready that is not going to melt when you strain off the hot oil. Lay out on a paper towel.

  • In 6 separate mixing bowls, evenly divide the red onion, spring onion, chili, crab, avocado, pomelo, Thai basil, and coriander. Reserve on the side.
  • In a small bowl, add all the ingredients and mix well. Reserve on the side.
  • Serve the trout alongside the salad and dressing of choice.

Pomelo Salad with Chile, Lime, Peanuts & Coconut Recipe image

Provided by LeeV

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons palm sugar or light brown sugar
2 red or green Thai chiles, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons fish sauce
Kosher salt
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced, divided
1/4 cup peanuts, preferably skin-on
2 pomelos or 3 ruby red grapefruit
3/4 cup torn cilantro leaves with tender stems
2 tablespoons dried shrimp

Steps:

  • Whisk palm sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl to dissolve sugar. Whisk in chiles, garlic, lime juice, and fish sauce; season with salt. Balance with more sugar, lime juice, or fish sauce if needed. Toast coconut in a dry small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Heat oil in same saucepan. Add half of shallots and fry, swirling, until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels with a slotted spoon to drain; season with salt. Cook peanuts in shallot oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season with salt. Remove peel and white pith from pomelos. Tear membrane off and pull segments into large pieces, transferring to a large bowl as you go. Add cilantro, remaining shallots, and half of dressing and toss to coat. Add coconut, peanuts, and dried shrimp; toss again. Divide among plates, drizzle with remaining dressing, and top with fried shallots.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pomelo: Look for pomelo that are heavy for their size, with a slightly yielding exterior. Avoid pomelo that are too hard or have blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you easily remove the peel and pith from the pomelo without wasting too much of the fruit.
  • Work in a large bowl: You'll need a large bowl to toss the salad in. A large bowl will also make it easier to mix all of the ingredients evenly.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad with your favorite toppings: You can top the salad with additional peanuts, coconut, cilantro, or mint. You can also serve it with a squeeze of lime juice or a drizzle of fish sauce.
