Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Cook the rice

Rinse the rice.

In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1½ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, start preparing the rest of the meal.

Prep the vegetables

Peel the onion and cut in half lengthwise, then thinly slice enough crosswise to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
Trim the stem ends from the green beans if needed.

Prep and brown the seafood

Pat the seafood dry with a paper towel (if using barramundi, discard the skin if desired). Cut the halibut or barramundi into 2-inch pieces. Season the seafood lightly with salt and pepper and the turmeric.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the seafood and cook, turning once, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.

Cook the vegetables; finish the seafood

In the same pan used for the seafood, if dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garam masala and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the tomatoes, half the tamarind paste, and ½ cup [1 cup] water and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the seafood and cook, stirring occasionally, until the seafood is cooked through and the green beans are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper and more tamarind paste. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the jalapeños.

Prep the jalapeños; finish the rice

Finely chop the jalapeños. Wash your hands after handling.

To the pot with the rice, stir in as many jalapeños as you like.

Serve

Transfer the jalapeño rice to individual bowls. Top with the seafood, green beans, and sauce and serve.
