preparation
➊ Scale the carp and cut into 8 pieces of 2 to 3 cm thick steaks.
➋ Prepare the jerk paste by first chopping the solid ingredients in a food processor and then adding the liquid ingredients and blending everything into a creamy mass. Coat both sides of the carp steaks with jerk paste and leave to marinate covered in the fridge overnight.
➌ Grill the carp steaks directly for about 3 - 4 minutes on each side. The grill should not be too hot otherwise the jerk paste will burn.
➍ Cut all the vegetables into even strips. Heat peanut oil in a wok or iron pan, fry the vegetable strips until crispy and season with salt and pepper. Season to taste with soy sauce, chili or fresh ginger, depending on your preference.
➎ Basmati rice goes very well as a side dish.
Tip: Jerk paste can be easily made in advance and then frozen. The paste does not solidify in the freezer and is therefore easy to remove.
