👨🍳 Инструкции

Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine chopped piri-piri, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- 2
Marinate the fish: Score the fish a few times on each side. Place the fish in a large dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it's well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Prepare the sauce: While the fish marinates, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the diced tomatoes and cocoa powder to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.
- 5
Pour in the chicken or fish stock, add the bay leaf, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the sauce cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- 6
Grill the fish: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.

Grill the fish for about 10-15 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through and flaky. Baste with any remaining marinade during grilling.

Serve: Remove the bay leaf from the sauce. Serve the grilled fish hot, generously spooning the cocoa-pepper sauce over the top. This dish is traditionally served with rice.
