@chefmd Posole in a Guajillo Chile base was the thing this week, similar to yours. In addition to cabbage and radish ( here ), I will use onion and epazote or Mexican oregano..also hot sauce of choice I'm currently fermenting some cabbage in gochujang and stuff to use, next time..raw is just to hard New version Old Version

@ElsieD-- Sure Halibut prep- I'm lucky I have patients that bring me product, line caught from Alaska. I prefer a thicker cut. So I piece them out. First I dry the filet on paper towel, make a dry-wet-dry mix , Flour 50% / Parm cheese 50%/ I use a Cajun seasoning in it too - then dip in egg mixture ( I have S and P in it )-- then in Panko. Rest 2-3 hrs The sauce- Saute' garlic #1 chopped ( I had Confit'd some ), onion #1/4 diced, ginger Small peeled knob- in Evoo, add tomato paste 2 T toast, add red Curry T ( Mine was from a can--Maybe MoyPloy/ I used Maseri SP )/Cocconut creme or full flavor C Milk ( I used 1/4 of a can add Kiffer lime leafs/ and some of my stock 1/2 C/ I used a pressure cooked Chxn stock and I added dried red pepper. Cook this for a while. add a squeeze of lime toward the end and some cilantro stems chopped finely. Yukon mash--I have confit garlic/ butter/ cream/ onion sprouts Plate- Mash potatoes/ladle of the sauce around/ Pan fried Halibut on top-- You can also cook the halibut in the sauce ( Poaching it )-I like the crunch factor I think Cilantro is great to finish Cheers
