👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Season the fish pieces with salt and black pepper. You can lightly fry the fish until golden brown on both sides, then set aside. This step is optional but adds flavor and texture.

2. 2

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped bell peppers, and optional habanero pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then, add the blended or chopped tomatoes. Cook down the tomato mixture for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the raw tomato taste is gone.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the tomatoes cook down sufficiently to avoid a sour taste.
5. 5

   Pour in the water or fish broth, add the Knorr/Maggi cubes, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

6. 6

   Gently add the fish pieces (fried or raw) to the stew. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

   💡 プロのコツ: Be careful not to overcook the fish.
7. 7

   Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Stir in chopped basil or parsley just before serving.

   💡 プロのコツ: The stew should have a rich, savory flavor with a hint of spice.
8. 8

   Serve the Liberian fish stew hot with white rice.

   💡 プロのコツ: This stew is also delicious with fufu or boiled plantains.
