👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Prepare the fish stuffing: In a mortar and pestle or small food processor, combine the finely chopped parsley, half of the finely chopped onion, minced garlic (2 cloves), and chopped red chili (if using). Add half of a bouillon cube (crushed) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix to a paste.
💡 Professionelle Tips: This paste adds a burst of flavor to the fish. - 2
Stuff the fish: If using whole fish, make a pocket in the belly and stuff. For fillets, spread the paste evenly over the top of each fillet.

Sear the fish: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the fish fillets for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove the fish and set aside.

Make the sauce base: In the same pot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the remaining chopped onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes until it darkens slightly. Add the passata and cook for another 3 minutes.

Add the vegetables: Add the cabbage, carrots, sweet potato, eggplant, and cauliflower to the pot. Add the remaining bouillon cube (crushed) and 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

Add the fish: Gently place the seared fish fillets on top of the vegetables. Cover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Cook the rice: While the fish is cooking, rinse the broken rice thoroughly under cold water. In a separate pot, combine the rinsed rice with 3 cups of water (or follow package instructions). Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Serve: Remove the fish and vegetables from the stew pot using a slotted spoon and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve the spiced rice alongside, and spoon some of the flavorful stew sauce over the rice and fish.
💡 Professionelle Tips: You can also cook the rice in some of the stew liquid for extra flavor, adding more water if needed.
