👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
In a bowl, combine the cubed fish with fresh lime juice, ensuring the fish is fully submerged. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the fish turns opaque and is 'cooked' through by the acidity of the lime juice.
- 2
While the fish is marinating, prepare the miti (coconut milk). If using fresh coconuts, grate them, add a pinch of salt and juice from 2 lime wedges, squeeze to extract the milk, and strain. If using canned coconut milk, ensure it's good quality.
- 3
Finely chop the red onion, tomato, cucumber, yellow capsicum, and chili (if using). Chop the fresh herbs.
- 4
Once the fish is marinated, drain off most of the lime juice. Add the prepared miti (coconut milk), chopped vegetables, and herbs to the bowl with the fish.
- 5
Gently mix all the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 6
Serve the kokoda immediately in small bowls or traditional coconut shells. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh coriander leaves.
