Quick mid-week dinner (not eggs on toast)

As much as I love eggs on toast, sometimes you need a dinner that feels a bit more exciting. And this little gem can be prepared in less than 30 minutes - 20 if you're super hungry!

Coconutty fish stew

Ingredients (makes 1 v.large or 2 small s
ervings)

1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or crushed
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 red pepper, sliced
1 tsp dried coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp chilli flakes (or less or more to taste)
150ml coconut milk
handful of king prawns
1 fillet of white fish (pollock is an economical & sustainable choice)
splash of hot water
1 tsp tomato ketchup or HP sauce (secret ingredient that isn't so secret!)
1 tsp fish sauce
1/2 lime (juice only)
frozen spinach or any other veg you wish to add

Method:

Fry the onion and garlic in a little oil until soft. Then add the spices, fish sauce, lime juice, tomato & pepper. Add the coconut milk and a little hot water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and add the prawns, fish and frozen spinach. Keep at a medium heat and cook until fish and prawns are cooked through.

Serve with choice of brown rice, chapatti or on its own for you carb-phobes!
