Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillet (such as cod or snapper)
- 120 grams Grated coconut
- 6 medium Shallots
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 10 whole Lemongrass stalks
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 3 medium Chili peppers
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 4 leaves Kaffir lime leaves
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Soak the lemongrass stalks in water for about 15 minutes if they are not fresh. This makes them easier to handle and prevents them from burning during grilling.
In a food processor, combine the white fish fillet, grated coconut, shallots, garlic cloves, chili peppers, ground turmeric, salt, and sugar. Process until the mixture becomes a fine paste.
Finely chop the kaffir lime leaves and stir them into the fish mixture using a spatula or spoon.
Distribute the fish mixture evenly by dividing into 10 portions. Take one portion and wrap it around each lemongrass stalk, pressing gently to form an even coating. Make sure the fish mixture adheres well to the stalk.
Brush each skewer with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking during cooking.
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the lemongrass skewers on the pan.
Grill the skewers for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and has a nice golden brown color.
Serve the skewers while hot with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
