👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Rinse the tilapia and pat dry. Make 2-3 deep scores on each side of the fish. Rub generously with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Mix well.

3. 3

   Stuff the fish cavities and scores with the onion-garlic-ginger mixture. Set aside.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure some of the mixture gets into the scored cuts for maximum flavor.
4. 4

   Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated fish for about 3-4 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove fish and set aside.

5. 5

   Add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

6. 6

   Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer.

7. 7

   Carefully return the seared fish to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce. Spoon some sauce over the fish.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the fish is not completely submerged, allowing it to steam and cook through.
8. 8

   Cover the skillet and simmer on medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Baste the fish with the sauce occasionally.

   💡 プロのコツ: Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the fish.
9. 9

   Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
