This was last evening. Amazingly easy and quick. It's got about three pounds of cod, eight stalks of asparagus, one package of artichoke hearts (Trader Joe's), a small yellow onion, once can of cocony milk and one small can (about 2 oz or thereabouts) of Thai green curry paste (containing only easily pronounceable and familiar ingredients).
There's really nothing to it. I did sauté the asparagus & onions first, and then lightly browned the fish, but they it was everything in, cover & simmer for only about 10 minutes or so.
We had friends over and they did up a salad, which we devoured after the main course, like dessert. Sorry for the blur. It was the best of two. I have been trying to take food photos with the flash disabled, in order to get a more natural look at the food.
And here's the finish line. About six weeks since I've had any rice, so that's not so bad. Wonder how many sugar cubes?

Zero sugar cubes – rice doesn't have fructose. Glucose can be absorbed by all tissues (as you know) and cultures that consume great quantities of white rice do not suffer from metabolic syndrome (as you should also know). Despite what Art De Vany says, I don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as your metabolism is healthy (i.e., not a Type 1 Diabetic like Art's wife or son).
I made a similar dish but with catfish, a packet of frozen mixed yellow, green, and red peppers from Trader Joe's, and red instead of green curry. The leftover sauce tasted great when mixed into scrambled eggs the next morning.

I agree with Brock, with the provision that carbs in general are unhealthy for people who are insulin resistant (i.e. pre-diabetic or worse). As far as grains go, white rice is probably the most benign of the lot. It's basically empty calories, just like coconut.
I braised a pair of lamb hearts in a red-miso coconut curry on Sunday. I've had satay chicken heart kabobs before but I think I liked the lamb heart more. For anyone who wants to try some offal, braised heart is something I would recommend.
Boy, that looks great! I am not a big fish eater but this looks like a good way to prepare it.
A bit of rice now and then is OK. It goes especially well with a recipe like this.
Looks good. I've been wanting to try fish in a curry. My wife however doesn't like to try new things. So I just force them on her since I do the cooking and them she loves most of them. Like this, I do cut chicken thighs in coconut milk, green curry paste, fish sauce, fresh basil and sometimes a tablespoon of dark brown sugar. She didn't wasn't happy about that when she came home, but now its a favorite meal of hers.
I agree about the rice, but I'm a little too insulin resistant. We usually just eat it without sides, but have just spooned the extra sauce over steamed broccoli. I've also thought about making cauliflower "rice" with it.
Yep, it's usually the cauliflower rice for me, wok fried in coconut oil (sometimes with some almond meal included). Works very well.
The coconut and parsnip dish at the cabin was the bee's knees. I have fixed it at least twice since the trip.
If this rice talk is true, it makes me feel better about eating sushi!
This looks delicious! I'm not very imaginative when it comes to food, so I love your food porn posts!
Ahh, food porn. I would have trouble coming up with a good definition of it, but I know it when I see it.
Keep it up! (That's what she said.)
I beg to differ my friend, south Indians have metabolic syndrome up the wazoo and they are heavy rice eaters. In fact, that's what they link rice eating too. Now of course South Indians aren't the most active of people either, and have poor body composition bc of that, but there are many type 2 diabetics and many who suffer from obesity, metabolic syndrome.
would have to disagree again. white rice is definitely not the most benign of grains…..for one quinoa is probably better.
Second, steel cut oats is probably better too. I wouldn't call white rice in the clear. It's processed grain. If eaten occasionally in reasonable amounts it wont matter, but I'd be careful about calling it benign.
