    Recipe Introduction


    Kenya

    We suggest a dash of piri-piri sherry to the finish off the soup. If you don't care for coconut, add 2 more cups of fish stock.

    List of Ingredients




    • 2 1/2 cups coconut milk, available in cans
    • 3 to 4 cups fish stock
    • 1 1/2 pounds uncooked fish and seafood, any mixture depending on your budget
    • 4 tablespoons oil or butter
    • 1 cup chopped onions
    • 1/2 pound carrots, finely chopped
    • 1/2 pound leeks, finely chopped
    • 1/2 pound celery, finely chopped
    • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
    • 1/4 cup dry white wine
    • 1 teaspoon curry powder
    • Pinch of saffron
    • 2 Kenya chiles, or jalapeños, seeds and stems removed, and chopped
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 4 ripe plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped
    • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    • Juice of 2 limes

    Recipe



    Clean and cube the seafood and the fish. Set aside.

    Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot, add the onions and saute for 1 minute. Add the carrots, leeks, celery, and garlic and saute for 2 minutes.

    Add the fish and seafood, wine, curry powder, saffron, chiles, salt, pepper, and bring to a simmer. Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, and fish stock; return to a simmer and cook slowly for at least 10 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are tender. Then, stir in the cilantro and lime juice.

    Yield: 4 to 6 servings
