Fish Friday - Fried Fish Stew
Fish Friday Winter Warmer
The perfect dish to start the weekend
Prep time: 40 mins Cook Time: 45 mins
Ingredients:
For fish:
Fish seasoning
Paprika
Black pepper
All purpose seasoning
Plain Flour
For stew:
Cherry tomatoes
White onions
Tumeric
Mixed bell peppers
Paprika
All purpose seasoning (we used Knorr Aromat)
Plain Flour
Method (based on preparing 3 pieces of fish):
Clean your fish by descaling, gutting & removing tails/fins (if this has not been done where you purchased). Clean with water/fresh lime or lemon.
Once fish is clean and water drained, add 3 tablespoons of our Bon Mangé Green Seasoning, 1/2 tablespoon of fish seasoning, 1 tablespoon of all purpose seasoning, black pepper & 1 tablespoon of paprika. Allow to marinade for a minimum of 20 mins. Fish absorbs flavour very well. Although it is great to marinade overnight, you will still taste a lot of flavour!
Whilst the fish is marinating, chop your ingredients in preparation for your stew. This includes:
6 cherry tomatoes in half
One small side of a red, green & yellow bell peppers and chop how you would like. We chopped ours vertically.
Dice one half of a white onion
Once ingredients are prepared for the stew, prepare a separate frying pan to deep-fry your fish with sunflower or vegetable oil.
Prepare your fish to deep fry by coating in a plain flour flavoured mix. This flour includes the following:
1 cup of plain flour
1 tablespoon of all-purpose
1 tablespoon of fish seasoning
Deep-fry your fish. Fry for 6 mins on each side. Make sure fish is cooked and a nice golden brown before removing and draining. Then leave covered to one side
In a separate fairly deep frying pan, add around 2 tablespoons of vegetable or sunflower oil for your stew. Once the oil is heated, add your chopped veg along with the following:
1 teaspoon of turmeric
2 tablespoons of all-purpose seasoning (we used Knorr Aromat)
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 tablespoon of plain flour
Mix this together in the pan and once soft and the flour is mixed, add hot water and leave simmer for 10 mins.
Check back on your stew and taste for flavour and thickness. You may need to add some more all-purpose seasoning at this stage.
Once the flavour is right, add your 3 pieces of fried fish to the mix and allow to simmer for a further 5-10 mins.
Once the stew has taken the flavour from the seasoning & the fish added and the mixture has the perfect consistency, you can enjoy! This dish can be served with white rice or hard food!
