Ok. I thought I'd chuck this in here because of the thread title:

TUSCAN STYLE BARRAMUNDI ON SLOW ROASTED TOMATOS ( THE SAUCE IS THE KEY icon_biggrin.gif )

TOMATOS

Pre-heat the oven to 140c

Cut the top and the tail of 4 tomatos off. Drizzle tomatos with olive oil, season with sea salt and a little pepper.

( Cooking time about 1hr 20 mins ) The can be cooked on a higher heat if you're in a rush but doing it this way you'll intensify the flavour more, almost like a large semi-sundried tomato. ( If you don't like skins, blanch them in hot water briefly and peel off skins )

SAUCE

In a sauce pan melt approximately 50 grams of butter. Cook butter until it starts to go a light brown colour ( Browning the butter will add a more nutty type flavour ). Add 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped), 1 small chilli ( finely chopped - you can use a little capsicum if you don't like heat), ginger( grated about a teaspoon ) cook in the butter for about 20 seconds to release the oils then add baby capers about a tablespoon full along with some powdered star anise about 1/4 teaspoon, a large pinch worth.

Add white wine 100ml, cook alcohol off. Then add 100ml of orange juice, about 50ml of teriyaki sauce ( This will be the main salt content so add more or less to taste.

Reduce sauce down to about half its volume, it should start to really get a glisten/sheen to it. Probably about 15 mins cooking time.

Once the sauce is ready and the tomatos are almost ready do the fish.

2 large portions of Barramundi (3-400g's ea) thick cut from a fillet and squared off, any bloodline removed. The fishmonger can do all the main filleting/pinboning.

Pre-heat frying pan ( Hot )

Remove tomatos from over and turn up to 200c

Pat down the skin with a paper towel and season skin side with a little salt and white pepper.

Put olive oil in pan and place fish skin down ( Cook for approx 2 minutes ) Check skin, if starting to go crispy, turn fish over and put straight in the oven. Cook for about 6-7 mins. Or until the flesh starts to separate a little.

Plate up

Put 2 tomatos on the plate and dress with a little sauce. Place the fish directly on top, building a little tower. Dress with more sauce to taste ( I like lots )

To give the dish texture I also chuck on the plate some chopped pan roasted cashews. The flavour and texture really add something to the dish.

A pinch of smoked paprika around the edge of the plate is you want to tart up the look a bit more, the flavour also marries well - Finely chopped basil will also add colour and flavour

noted and emailed to wife :thumbsup:

Cheers mate. It one of my wifes/best mates favourite dishes that I make. Tell your wife to keep in mind I like things fairly acidic so depending on taste and if extra sugar is already added to the orange juice she may need to add a little bit of sweetener for balance. Demerera sugar or honey would be best imo.

If its a fan forced over maybe set it to 110-120 for that amount of time with the tomatos

Good work, Eagle. Its been a while since we've had someone actually post a recipe in here. Barramundi is a great fish to eat too, not to many bones.

Thanks buddy..... I love Barra, the taste, the texture. A brilliant fish!

I've discovered it bloody hard to write our a recipe so its easy to follow. I normally just get in the kitchen and cook.

I thought you were saving for my turbo kit, looks like the missus is on to you mate, I hope she isn't reading these threads... :P

    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
