👨🍳 Instructies

Season the fish pieces with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the palm oil over medium-high heat. Sear the fish pieces for about 2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove the fish and set aside.

Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 4
Add the okra, carrots, sweet potato, eggplant, and Scotch bonnet pepper (if using) to the pot. Stir to combine.

Pour in the water or fish broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- 6
Gently return the seared fish pieces to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Be careful not to overcook the fish.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, drizzled with fresh lime juice and garnished with chopped parsley. Traditionally served with rice.
