A delicious and flavorful Coconut-Tamarind Keto Fish Stew that is perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
- 1 cup fish stock or water
- 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and red pepper flakes to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
- Pour in the coconut milk, tamarind paste, and fish stock (or water). Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the fish pieces and cherry tomatoes to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Stir in the spinach leaves and cook for an additional 2 minutes, just until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- For a creamier stew, add an extra half can of coconut milk.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, include diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute fish with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of fish stock.
