Fish Pudding

Ingredients

2 lbs. of Flounder, cut into 1" pieces ( can use any other white fleshed fish of your choice like haddock, cod)

1/2 cup, chopped yellow onion

1 Jalapeno pepper, deseeded and chopped

1/4 cup freshly grated coconut

a handful of chopped coriander

1 n 1/4 cup heavy cream

3 egg whites

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp pepper powder

Juice of 1 Lemon

1 tbsp Butter

2 tbsp of dry bread crumbs

Preparation

Wash thoroughly and cut the fillet into 1" pieces. In a deep bottomed pan, add 1 n 1/2 to 2 cups of water with salt, pepper and half the juice of lemon. Add the fish pieces to it , cover and let boil until it absorbs all the water. Keep aside and let cool.

In a pan add a tbsp of butter, add the chopped onion and Jalapeno pepper, fry until the onion turns translucent. Do not brown the onions. Keep aside and let cool.

In a mixer grinder, add the fish pieces , onion and jalapeno fry, grated coconut , a handful of chopped coriander ,rest of the lemon juice and grind to a smooth paste.

Remove the fish dough in a pan ,add the egg whites, blend on medium high until the fish dough becomes soft and fluffy.

Lastly add heavy cream , and blend on low for not more than a minute.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In the meantime , boil water in a pan to be used later for baking pudding.

Grease the bottom and sides of a 9" loaf pan heavily with butter. Sprinkle the bread crumbs tipping the pan to evenly distribute the crumbs. Also grease a aluminium foil big enough to cover the loaf pan.

Pour the mixture in the loaf pan, bang the pan gently on the counter for a couple of times to remove any air bubbles.

Seal the loaf pan with the greased foil, place the pan in a deep baking tray , add boiling water way up till it covers 3/4 of the sides of the loaf pan.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a tester inserted inside comes out clean.

Let it cool for 5 minutes, pour off any extra liquid. Run a knife around the edges, hold a serving platter on top of the pan and quickly invert so that the pudding comes out smoothly. Be very careful while removing the pudding on the platter :-)

Serve hot with vegetables and mashed potato as part of meal, can also serve cold with sandwich.

About

I wanted to try a FISH PUDDING recipe for quite some time , and finally I'm so glad I could pull through this. I was a bit skeptical initially but it came out so soft and spongy ,I'm extremely happy with this new venture of mine. It was so delicate ,as I tried to get it off the pan, I could hardly hold the structure of the pudding :-( Be very careful !!! It can be served hot with vegetables and mashed potatoes , as a part of a meal ;or cold as part of sandwich. You can even drizzle a little butter on top and enjoy this dish !!! I prepared a spicy cauliflower and peas stir fry to go along with it, enjoyed as evening snack . I had a little leftover from yesterday, tried it cold with guess what ! HONEY!!! It tastes awesome :-)
