👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season the fish chunks with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
💡 전문가 팁: Allow fish to marinate for about 10 minutes.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Pour in the fish or vegetable broth, add the dried thyme, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Bring to a simmer.
💡 전문가 팁: If you prefer more heat, you can pierce the scotch bonnet pepper.
6
Add the sliced okra to the pot. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the okra is tender.
7
Gently add the seasoned fish chunks to the simmering soup. Do not stir too vigorously to avoid breaking the fish.
💡 전문가 팁: Cook gently to keep the fish intact.
8
Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
9
Remove the whole scotch bonnet pepper before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve hot with fufu, rice, or boiled yam.
