👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry the fish until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   In the same skillet (add more oil if needed), sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the crushed tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, and chopped scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the vegetable broth or water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the simmering tomato sauce, stirring well to combine. Reduce heat to low.

5. 5

   Let the peanut sauce simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf.

6. 6

   Gently place the pan-fried tilapia fillets into the peanut sauce. Cover and let them simmer in the sauce for about 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

7. 7

   Stir in the lime or lemon juice just before serving. Serve the tilapia with peanut sauce hot, typically with steamed rice, attieke, or fufu.
