A LITTLE KITCHEN KNOW-HOW
Fruit-Glaze Arrosé
Pan-basting seared fish fillets with a simmering sweet-acidic fruit pan sauce to glaze the protein while keeping the interior moist.
Notes from the kitchen
- Use frozen passion fruit pulp thawed at room temperature if fresh fruit is unavailable.
- Spoon the glaze continuously over the fish during the last minutes to build a shiny, rich lacquer.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Brazilian; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
