What does this mean?

This is a really fresh, zingy sauce. You can adjust the amount of chilli to your taste, but I like it quite spicy. Inspired by the original Bill Granger recipe, I serve this with trout or salmon that has been grilled or pan fried to get a crispy skin. I love it with tagliatelle, tossed with creme fraiche (helpful if the sauce is really spicy!) and baby spinach.

Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 large red chilli Finely sliced into rings
  • 5 cm fresh root ginger Grated or finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic Finely sliced
  • 400 grams tomatoes (fresh and diced)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Method

  1. Add the oil to a pan over a medium heat.
  2. Add the chilli, ginger and garlic to the pan and fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. You don't want to colour the spices, just take the raw edge off them.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan.
  4. Add the soy sauce and sugar and cook down for 5-7 minutes. You want a fresh, light sauce with all the ingredients still identifiable, not a mushy mess.
