👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Rinse the smoked fish thoroughly to remove excess salt and debris. If the fish is in large pieces, break it down into smaller, manageable flakes.
- 2
In a pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and darkened slightly.
- 5
Add the groundnut (pistachio) powder to the sauce. Stir well to combine and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- 6
Pour in the water or fish broth, add the flaked smoked fish, crayfish powder (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together.
- 7
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken further. Stir occasionally.
- 8
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The sauce should be rich and savory.
