This cracking swordfish curry is one I created for Stuart at Little Juniper Gin. The flavours work so well with his signature gin. So, if you are needing a little fish inspiration then look no further than this 😉
Blogging!
I have been writing recipes for a few years now and as much as I love cooking and creating dishes I have to be honest when I say the part I like the least is writing blog posts. I think it's mainly because as a reader of blogs I generally just scroll to the recipe and am less interested in the fluff in between. Am I wrong? So, unless any of you guys feel particulary strongly about it going forward I'll just be popping up the recipe, a couple images and a small bit of waffle 😉 Plus, less time typing means more time cooking so more dishes to choose from!
All the info you need on this swordfish curry is in the recipe below but if you have any questions, feel free to email, message, write a comment or hit me up on insta (usually quicker!)

Flatbreads (optional)

Curry

- Add spices along with 100ml water and cook for a further minute

Notes
Tips/Tricks
- swordfish has a great meaty quality so it stands up well in a curry – alternative options would be monkfish or prawns. Monkfish will take similar time to cook where as prawns will take approx. 4 mins so if using simmer the tomatoes step for 10mins and then add prawns
- alternatively – you can use chicken thighs. Fry these and cook to about 80% before cooking the onions and then add the chicken back in when you would add the swordfish
- flatbreads are optional and nowadays you can buy great frozen versions if you don’t have the time or energy 😉
- don’t skip the garnishes – they add an extra layer of flavour and also make it look the part too!
