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

    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
    • I think depending how much left over cash I have after all the kids and wife (daycare, extra curriculum activities, toys, and whatever they drain from my account, wife's spending, etc.) I might go for the Advan A052 OR if the bank account says no, then Nankang CR-S.
