We pair this flavorful summer dish with a Trentino Doc Gewürztraminer 2022 Cantina La-Vis.
Ingredients for 4 people:
4 MSC* certified cod fillets, powdered curry and olive oil.
For the curried vegetables: ¼ cup of carrots, ¼ cup celery, ¼ cup zucchini, ¼ cup porcini mushrooms, ¼ cup corn, ¼ cup onions, ¼ cup leeks (all vegetables to be cut into cubes), 1 garlic clove, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1 tablespoon raisins, 200ml vegetable broth, fresh coriander and olive oil.
Directions:
Cut the vegetables into cubes.
Put the vegetables in a pan with a crushed garlic clove and some olive oil and season with the curry powder, salt and tomato paste and cook at a high heat.
Add the raisins and vegetable broth, bring to a boil and then let it simmer for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, mix together some olive oil, curry powder and salt and add the cod fillets to season them.
Heat a pan with some olive oil to cook the cod with the skin side faced down until it develops a golden color. Do not heat the olive oil too much or the curry powder will burn.
Add some finely chopped fresh coriander to the vegetables.
Serve the fish fillets on top of the vegetables and garnish with a little fresh coriander.
