👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Prepare the aromatics: In a bowl, combine the chopped onions, minced garlic, chopped tomatoes, and finely chopped scotch bonnet pepper. Season with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Prepare the banana leaves: Gently wilt the banana leaves over a low flame or by dipping them in hot water. This makes them pliable and prevents tearing.
- 3
Assemble the parcels: Lay a banana leaf flat. Place a portion of the aromatic mixture in the center. Top with a fish fillet. Spoon a little more of the aromatic mixture over the fish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- 4
Wrap the fish: Fold the banana leaf to create a sealed parcel around the fish and aromatics. Secure with kitchen twine if necessary.
- 5
Steam the parcels: Place the parcels in a steamer basket over simmering water. Cover and steam for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Serve: Carefully unwrap the Maboké de Capitaine and serve hot, typically with steamed rice and fried plantains.
