Ingredients

  • 1 kg fresh white fish, cut into two finger-wide strips/slices
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 mid-sized onions, cut into circular slices
  • 2 bell peppers (one red, one green), cut into circular slices
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 4 ripe tomatoes, optionally skinned then chopped
  • 4 cilantro stems with leaves, finely chopped
  • 12 tbsp Azeite de dendê (a very tasty, heavy, saffron-colored palm oil, which may not be omitted under any circumstances)
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Method

  1. Leave the fish in a marinade made out of lemon juice and fine powdered pepper for at least 1 hour.
  2. Put the fish, onions, bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes and the cilantro in numerous layers into a pot.
  3. Pour the azeite de dendê and the coconut milk over all, and boil everything for 20 minutes. From time to time, ladle/scoop the liquid from the pot's bottom to its top. Be careful, in order to not break the fish!
  4. Season to taste with salt.
  5. Serve with white rice.
