Langoustine in Garlic/pepper sauce
Ingredients
2 pounds of peeled/cleaned Langoustine tails
1 head of peeled garlic - minced
1 inch of peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon of whole black pepper
4 dried whole red chilis
2 tablespoon of fresh grated coconut
1 large peeled/thinly sliced white onion
2 tablespoons of Organic sprouted pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon of Sesame oil
½ teaspoon of Organic ground turmeric
2 cups of fresh peas
Directions:
Slightly toast the black pepper and grind along with coconut and pumpkin seeds to a fine paste, add water to make sure that this is not too thick.
In a large wide nonstick pan, heat the sesame oil over moderate heat and add the dried chilis, onions, garlic, ginger, and turmeric, and sauté until lightly brown.
At this point, increase the heat to high and then add the Langoustines to ensure that they sear quickly without stewing in the mixture.
Add the ground mixture and continue to cook until the mixture thickens and after all ingredients are fully cooked, add the fresh peas and cook further.
Serve with your favorite Rice, Quinoa, Bulgur, Polenta, Roti, or Bread side-dish.
