Spice Islands salad with sambal dressing

Spice Islands salad with sambal dressing To make the salad:

1) Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil over a medium heat. Add the green beans, cauliflower and carrots and blanch for 2 minutes. Do not boil them into submission! Drain and set aside.

Salt and pepper the fish and pan-fry in a little olive oil and lime juice, over a medium heat, until just cooked through and flaky.

Arrange the spring greens on each plate, surrounded by julienned cucumber and hard-boiled egg. Divide the cooked vegetables and bean sprouts over the greens, and top each plate with a fish fillet. Artistically drizzle sambal kacang over everything, and serve.

For the sambal kacang sauce:

1) Add the peanuts, garlic, chillies*, ginger and coconut milk to a blender and process into a coarse paste.

Put the blended ingredients and the kaffir lime leaf in a medium saucepan with the soy sauce and tamarind juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove the lime leaf and set aside.

*Cook's Note: Choose hot, medium or mild for the dish, depending on which chilli pepper and how many you use.
