Cooking Instructions
- 1
1- Put the fish steaks in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and half the turmeric and mix together, making sure the fish is well coated. Set aside to marinade for a few minutes

2- Heat a small frying pan over a high heat and fry the mustard seeds for 1–2 minutes until lightly toasted and fragrant and beginning to pop. Tip into a pestle and mortar and pound until finely ground, then set aside.

3- Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, tip in the onions and fry for 8–10 minutes over a medium-low heat until starting to colour. Season with salt and continue to cook for a few more minutes until lightly golden.

4- Add the pounded garlic to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly before adding the remaining half teaspoon turmeric, chilli powder, ground coriander, garam masala and paprika. Mix together and stir over a low heat for a further 2–3 minutes. When the mixture gets dryer, add 250ml/9fl oz boiling water to loosen and cook for a minute before adding 2 heaped teaspoons of the pounded mustard seeds (reserve the rest for another usage). Allow to cook gently for 3-4 minutes while stirring

5- Wash the fish by rinsing well with cold water. Then add to the pan along with enough hot water to cover the fish (approximately 150–200ml/5½–7fl oz). Swirl the pan to cover the fish in the sauce. Cook gently for around 6–8 minutes, carefully turning the fish halfway through cooking. The curry is ready when the fish is opaque and cooked through and the sauce has started to thicken (it should have a loose consistency). Add the freshly chopped coriander and season to taste with salt.

6- Heat for another minute, don’t stir the pan as this might break up the fish – just give the pan a gentle swirl or shake. Serve the fish curry with sliced green chilli, extra coriander leaves and basmati rice.

Green curry mussels Green curry mussels
Have you ever woken up craving something specific to eat? It happened to me this morning, and the craving was for mussels. No specific preparation, just plump, juicy mussels. It's a little weird, I know. They must've been in a dream. Anyway, after breakfast I scrapped my original plan for dinner and hopped online to surf for some mussel inspiration. I eventually came across a green curry recipe by Andy Baraghani at Bon Appetit. His dish didn't actually include any mussels (it was vegetarian) but I decided to use it anyway as a jumping off point. It worked like a charm. For convenience, I used frozen half-shell mussels. Feel free to replace them with fresh mussels if they're available to you. Regardless which you use, it's gonna be delicious.

Tomato Pasta Sauce Tomato Pasta Sauce
Ok, I'm always in search of perfection as far as tomato sauce goes... It's my own personal "holy grail." (and please, to any and all "real chefs" out there, if you have any suggestions for this recipe, it would be more than welcome) My grandmother made amazing tomato sauce but died from Alzheimers before I could get the recipe from her. Since then I've been experimenting with this recipe constantly. I've tried numerous incarnations, numerous ingredient variants, etc. I feel as if I still don't have it down to perfection, but I have it good enough that it still yields a decent sauce. FYI: this recipe is for a big batch. I designed and cook it this way because it's simply delectable and is perfect to put in containers, freeze, and have on a night where you're simply too busy to make something homemade.P. S. - I know, it's strange putting butter in a tomato sauce, and it seems like alot of butter, but I assure you, that's what makes the recipe.

Hanger Steak Hanger Steak
Nicknamed "butcher’s steak" because butchers used to keep this cut for themselves (and often still do). Hanger steak is tender like a filet mignon but has some nice fat and marbling like a ribeye. Paired with crispy rainbow potatoes and a rich beef fat chimichurri, this plate is pure, meaty justice.• Watch the full video on my channel (link in profile)
