Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until softened, about 6-8 minutes.

đĄ Proffstips: If using fresh tomatoes, cook them down for a few minutes before adding the liquid. - 5
Season the tomato base with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice.

Gently place the fish chunks into the simmering tomato sauce. Ensure they are mostly submerged.
đĄ Proffstips: Be careful not to break up the fish pieces too much. - 7
Cover the pot and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the fish and tomato stew hot over the cooked millet. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
đĄ Proffstips
- âChoose a firm white fish that holds its shape well during cooking, such as hake, cod, or tilapia.
- âFor a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or a bay leaf to the stew.
- âIf you prefer a thicker stew, you can mash some of the cooked tomatoes against the side of the pot.
