👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Prepare the dumplings: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead briefly, then set aside.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Don't overmix the dough. - 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat butter or oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion, minced garlic, and chopped escallions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- 3
Add the sliced okra to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
- 4
Stir in the cho-cho pieces, thyme sprigs, and the whole pricked scotch bonnet pepper. Pour in the coconut milk and 1/2 cup of water. Season with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Adjust seasoning to your preference. Be careful with the scotch bonnet; you can remove it before serving if you prefer less heat. - 5
Gently place the fish fillets on top of the vegetables in the simmering liquid. Cover the pot and let it steam for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Avoid stirring too much once the fish is added to prevent it from breaking apart. - 6
While the fish is steaming, pinch off small pieces of the dumpling dough and drop them into the simmering stew. Cover and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.

Remove the thyme sprigs and scotch bonnet pepper before serving. Ladle the steamed fish, vegetables, and dumplings into bowls. Serve hot.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Serve with a side of rice and peas or plain rice if desired.
