Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, sauté pan or casserole dish. Fry the onion gently until it is soft but not browned.
- STEP 2
Add the spices and garlic and cook for one minute.
- STEP 3
Add the tomatoes, tomato purée and water. Bring to the boil and simmer gently, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring every now and again, until the fish is tender.
- STEP 4
Serve with rice, couscous or potatoes. Check carefully for bones before serving.
- STEP 5
- Adding the spices at the beginning of the cooking allows them to permeate the whole dish and also takes away any ‘raw’ taste.
- You can use any white fish for this dish, either fresh or frozen. If you use frozen fish, allow a bit of extra simmering time to make sure it is absolutely defrosted and cooked through.
- Adults sharing the same dish can add salt at the table, and / or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
