I decided to turn up the heat today! Hot and fiery curry with no dairy to cool it down…oh yeah!
I had defrosted a swordfish steak, but wasn’t in the mood for any of my usual preparations for it. I rummaged around in the pantry, and dragged out a big can of crushed tomatoes. These two things would go together. Well with a but of poking and prodding they would.
My jalapenos were starting to look a little bit wilty… hence, they were going to the party as well. I wanted something spicy anyway. I rifled through my overflowing collection of spices, and the decision was made. A scorching haphazard curry was about to be born.
I happily chomped my hot swordfish curry over some quinoa. The heat could have turned up a bit more for me, but no need to blister the tongue, I guess.

I avoid hot foods, I have sissy lips. But I’ve never had swordfish and would give it a try.
We don’t eat seafood in our house, but I am pretty sure my father would like this, so I’ll pass this along.
