Adding coconut to this green chutney makes it textured and spreadable for a sandwich. The coconut flavor is nutty and slightly sweet which perfectly balances out the spicy serrano and fresh cilantro.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups fresh cilantro
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 serrano pepper, stemmed and seeded
1 1-inch piece ginger, cut into coins
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons curry powder
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 1/2 limes)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted, plus more as needed
Kosher salt
4 skinless halibut fillets (5 to 6 ounces each; 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
4 soft rolls (such as Portuguese rolls), split
1 1/2 cups julienned or shredded carrots
Sweet potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the chutney: Combine 1 1/2 cups cilantro, the coconut, serrano, ginger, garlic, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Pulse in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water if the chutney is too thick.
  • Preheat a grill to medium high. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1 teaspoon curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub all over the halibut fillets. Lightly oil the grill with coconut oil. Grill the halibut until well-marked and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Grill the rolls until charred in spots, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
  • Mix the carrots and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 cup cilantro in a medium bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Spread the cilantro chutney on the cut sides of the rolls. (If the chutney is dry, mix in 1 to 2 more teaspoons coconut oil.) Fill the rolls with the carrot mixture and halibut. Serve with sweet potato chips.

CILANTRO-DATE CHUTNEY



Cilantro-Date Chutney image

Inspired by two classic Parsi recipes from the chef and anthropologist Niloufer Ichaporia King, this sauce introduces the toasted cumin and medjool dates from her date and tamarind chutney into her classic green chutney, full of fresh ginger, jalapeño and lime. The ginger and the sweetness of the dates echo many of the flavors already present on the Thanksgiving table, and the cilantro, chiles and lime bring a much welcome vividness. It's a delight! This sauce is also fantastic on leftover turkey sandwiches, and, other times of year, it makes for a great condiment on rice, fish, chicken and vegetable dishes alike.

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon cumin seeds
10 medjool dates, pitted
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, plus more to taste (from 2 to 3 limes)
2 jalapeños, stemmed and thinly sliced (remove seeds if desired for a milder sauce)
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
6 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
4 cups loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems (from about 2 large bunches)

Steps:

  • Place cumin in a small skillet and set over medium-high heat. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes, or until seeds just begin to change color and emit a faint aroma. Immediately dump seeds into a spice grinder or mortar, and grind to a powder.
  • Place dates, lime juice, jalapeños, ginger, garlic, salt and cumin into the bowl of a food processor and pulse, stopping periodically to scrape the sides with a rubber spatula as needed. Try to get this mixture as uniformly puréed as possible, though a little texture is fine.
  • Add the cilantro and continue to pulse to break it down. Then, add as little water as possible - about a tablespoon - to get the blades moving and turn the mixture into the sauce. Continue scraping the sides and pulsing until no large bits of stem or leaf remain and the sauce is a lovely, almost-but-not-quite-smooth texture. Taste, and add lime juice and salt as needed. Cover and refrigerate until serving. This sauce will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge.
