👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Marinate the fish: In a bowl, combine the fish pieces with lime juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
2
Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add garlic and spices: Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and minced scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Simmer the base: Add the undrained diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and fish stock (or water) to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
5
Cook the fish: Gently add the marinated fish pieces to the simmering stew. Ensure the fish is submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook.
6
Season and serve: Season the stew with salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle the fish stew into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot with rice, boiled plantains, or crusty bread.
