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

    • Thanks heaps. So basically, bare block, very very similar. And cranks are the same
    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
    • I have GT2860R. I'm not sure if they are -5 or -7. Do you know? These are the exact ones.  https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html?srsltid=AfmBOopSCzHaDtf7nggL6R8KrD8RJP4wxBJitmkRmswmv2SaEbAVcxTe And to be honest, i think the car was the most enjoyable to drive on the streets when it was 280hp (205kw). I could enjoy all the revs to redline i wouldn't be going crazy fast, but just fast enough to know that you are working the car.  
    • If i used a cooling system pressure tester, would it show me a leak with the head gasket? Ive used one before to chase down a leaking coolant hose. Not sure if this will work on the oil-cooler warmer.
