To properly evaluate the place of good works in the Christian life, we must understand that grace maintains the value of God’s children apart from any merit of their own; but we must also understand that God uses our obedience to promote our good and His glory. By our accomplishments, God works His holy purposes in our lives, provides us with many temporal blessings and, most of all, fulfills our Spirit-instilled longing to honor God with all our heart, soul, mind, and might (cf. Deut. 6:5; Matt. 22:37). While we must be careful not to define blessing only in terms of material possessions or earthly ease, we must also embrace the promise that God “rewards those who earnestly seek Him” (Heb. 11:6).

INGREDIENTS

8	lg	Firm fillets of white fish such as deep
		; sea dory or snapper
6	lg	Leeks
1		Firm mango and 1/2 red papaya
1		440 milliliter can coconut milk
1/2	bn	Coriander
1/2	bn	Basil
		Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to
		; taste
6	tb	Olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut off the roots and tough green leaves of the leeks, then cut each in
half. Using a sharp knife, cut the leek pieces into julienne strips. When
all leeks have been cut in this way, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes
to release any trapped dirt or sand. Drain well.
Place 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a saucepan and add the leeks. Stir
over a high heat until the leeks have wilted slightly and are coated with
the oil. Turn the heat down and cook slowly for 30 minutes or caramelise.
Meanwhile, prepare the fish. Oil a baking dish large enough to hold all the
fish. Thinly slice half the paw paw and place on the bottom of the dish.
Salt and pepper the fish and lay over the paw paw. Pour over the coconut
milk and bake at 230c. for 10 minutes. Cut the remaining paw paw and mango
into strips and mix with the chopped coriander and basil. Add 2 tablespoons
lime juice and mix well. Remove the fish from the oven and heap the mango
mixture onto each fillet. Return to the oven for 5 minutes.
To serve, place a small mound of caramelised leeks in the centre of the
place, then place the fish fillet on the top. Make sure that each fillet
has a good quantity of mango mixture on the top.
