Last weekend, I had a friend over for dinner with the promise that I was going to make him fish and chips that tasted as good as takeout. Guess what? I succeeded. And not only did my meal taste delicious, it was healthy, too.
The fish had a flavourful crunchy outer layer with an essence of coconut that paired beautifully with the sweet potato frites and curry
yogurt dip I concocted. This meal gets a 10 out of 10 for flavour and health. Plus, I had fun creating the recipe and giving good old-fashioned fish and chips a healthy makeover.
A bit of a note on cooking oils.
After the
saturated fat scare of the 80s, most restaurants switched to vegetable oils in an effort to offer a healthy alternative for deep frying -- a completely unhealthy strategy since saturated fat, when eaten in small portions, is actually good for us.
Vegetable oils, on the other hand, turn
rancid when cooked at high temperatures -- which means anything cooked in them could harm our health. So, for this delish dish, I ditched the vegetable oil and pan-seared the fish in organic coconut oil -- one of my favourite oils for cooking.
