👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season the fish chunks with salt, pepper, paprika, and annatto powder (if using). Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, until they start to break down.
5
Add the cubed sweet potatoes, potatoes, yuca, and acorn squash to the pot. Pour in the water or fish stock, ensuring the vegetables are covered. Add the bay leaves.
6
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the root vegetables are tender.
7
Gently add the marinated fish chunks to the simmering stew. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
💡 전문가 팁: Avoid over-stirring once the fish is added to prevent it from breaking apart.
8
Stir in the chopped cilantro. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
💡 전문가 팁: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbaceous finish.
9
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
💡 전문가 팁: This stew is excellent served with crusty bread or rice.
