Cooking Steps

Prepare

  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan. Cook the rice for 10 - 12 minutes, covered, then drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, dice the Romano pepper.
  • Chop the onion and dice the carrot.
  • Crush or mince the garlic.
Make the stew
2

  • Melt a knob of butter in a wok or deep frying pan over medium heat.
  • Fry the garlic, onion and Mexican-style spices* for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the carrot, Romano pepper, coconut milk and chopped tomatoes, then crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
  • Allow to simmer gently over medium-low heat for 10 - 12 minutes, covered.
*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

Add the fish
3
  • Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper and cut into 3cm chunks.
  • Shortly before serving, transfer the fish to the stew and poach gently for 2 - 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper (see Tip).
  • Finely chop the coriander in the meantime.

Tip: if you'd prefer the stew to be spicier, you can also add some sambal from your pantry.

Serve
