4.) FOR THE SAUCE: In a saucepot, sweat the garlic and tomato in 1 Tbsp of oil along with the cayenne and 2 Tbsp of the curry powder. Do not brown.

5.) Add 4 oz of the chicken stock and the cream of coconut. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and the heavy cream and add to the mixture. Bring to a boil then remove from heat and hold for plating.

6.) Poach the asparagus in the remaining chicken stock.

7.) the remaining blue tortillas into pointy strips and fry until crisp. Season with salt and set aside.

8.) TO PLATE: Mound 6 oz of the rice on the plate. Spoon some of the sauce around the rice and top with a snapper fillet and one of the beef filets, sliced. Surround with 4 asparagus spears and garnish with the fried blue tortilla strips adhered into the rice.
