Ok. I thought I'd chuck this in here because of the thread title:

TUSCAN STYLE BARRAMUNDI ON SLOW ROASTED TOMATOS ( THE SAUCE IS THE KEY icon_biggrin.gif )

TOMATOS

Pre-heat the oven to 140c

Cut the top and the tail of 4 tomatos off. Drizzle tomatos with olive oil, season with sea salt and a little pepper.

( Cooking time about 1hr 20 mins ) The can be cooked on a higher heat if you're in a rush but doing it this way you'll intensify the flavour more, almost like a large semi-sundried tomato. ( If you don't like skins, blanch them in hot water briefly and peel off skins )

SAUCE

In a sauce pan melt approximately 50 grams of butter. Cook butter until it starts to go a light brown colour ( Browning the butter will add a more nutty type flavour ). Add 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped), 1 small chilli ( finely chopped - you can use a little capsicum if you don't like heat), ginger( grated about a teaspoon ) cook in the butter for about 20 seconds to release the oils then add baby capers about a tablespoon full along with some powdered star anise about 1/4 teaspoon, a large pinch worth.

Add white wine 100ml, cook alcohol off. Then add 100ml of orange juice, about 50ml of teriyaki sauce ( This will be the main salt content so add more or less to taste.

Reduce sauce down to about half its volume, it should start to really get a glisten/sheen to it. Probably about 15 mins cooking time.

Once the sauce is ready and the tomatos are almost ready do the fish.

2 large portions of Barramundi (3-400g's ea) thick cut from a fillet and squared off, any bloodline removed. The fishmonger can do all the main filleting/pinboning.

Pre-heat frying pan ( Hot )

Remove tomatos from over and turn up to 200c

Pat down the skin with a paper towel and season skin side with a little salt and white pepper.

Put olive oil in pan and place fish skin down ( Cook for approx 2 minutes ) Check skin, if starting to go crispy, turn fish over and put straight in the oven. Cook for about 6-7 mins. Or until the flesh starts to separate a little.

Plate up

Put 2 tomatos on the plate and dress with a little sauce. Place the fish directly on top, building a little tower. Dress with more sauce to taste ( I like lots )

To give the dish texture I also chuck on the plate some chopped pan roasted cashews. The flavour and texture really add something to the dish.

A pinch of smoked paprika around the edge of the plate is you want to tart up the look a bit more, the flavour also marries well - Finely chopped basil will also add colour and flavour

noted and emailed to wife :thumbsup:

Cheers mate. It one of my wifes/best mates favourite dishes that I make. Tell your wife to keep in mind I like things fairly acidic so depending on taste and if extra sugar is already added to the orange juice she may need to add a little bit of sweetener for balance. Demerera sugar or honey would be best imo.

If its a fan forced over maybe set it to 110-120 for that amount of time with the tomatos

Good work, Eagle. Its been a while since we've had someone actually post a recipe in here. Barramundi is a great fish to eat too, not to many bones.

Thanks buddy..... I love Barra, the taste, the texture. A brilliant fish!

I've discovered it bloody hard to write our a recipe so its easy to follow. I normally just get in the kitchen and cook.

I thought you were saving for my turbo kit, looks like the missus is on to you mate, I hope she isn't reading these threads... :P

Trying to...and failing :P

Whenever she sees me browsing IM she's like "what are you buying now!!" :rolleyes:

I tell her I'm browsing for stuff to get for the Grandis (NA4W)...hehe

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
