Ingredients

  • 4 catfish fillets
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can Spam, diced
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
  • Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Catfish: Season the catfish fillets with salt, pepper, and half of the curry powder. Set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.
  2. Cook the Spam: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced Spam and sauté until it is crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the Spam from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Peanut-Cheddar Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the peanut butter, remaining curry powder, and a splash of water to create a smooth sauce. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. If the sauce is too thick, add more water to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Cook the Catfish: In the skillet with the sauce, add the marinated catfish fillets. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Combine: Add the crispy Spam back into the skillet with the catfish and peanut-cheddar sauce. Stir gently to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.
  6. Serve: Spoon the catfish and sauce over cooked rice and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

This Peanut-Cheddar Curry Catfish with Spam dish is not just a meal; it's an adventure in flavors! The combination of ingredients may seem unconventional, but the result is a deliciously satisfying dish that will leave your taste buds dancing. Enjoy your culinary creation with friends and family!
