Fish Stew
4 tilapia fillets, about 5 ounces each
3 cloves garlic, mashed
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt or plain salt
Juice from 1/2 lime
3 to 4 medium tomatoes, peeled, cored
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium potatoes, peeled, diced
2 ribs celery, cut into 1-inch lengths
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons Maggi seasoning
1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1. Season the fish pieces with the mashed garlic, ginger, seasoned salt and lime
juice. Place in a large, resealable food-storage bag. Refrigerate at least 8
hours.
2. Heat broiler; place the fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet about 6-7
inches from the broiler. Broil, turning once, until browned and cooked through,
about 6 minutes per side. Set fish aside. Puree the tomatoes in a blender or
food processor until nearly smooth; set aside.
3. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the sliced onion with the
salt. Add onion, potatoes and celery to the skillet; cook, stirring
occasionally, until onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Pour the pureed
tomatoes over the vegetables; add the tomato paste and Maggi seasoning; reduce
heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and the
potatoes are almost tender, about 20 minutes.
4. Add the coconut milk; cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add enough
water to make sauce the consistency of light cream. Cook, stirring occasionally,
5 minutes. Add the fish to the skillet; cover. Cook, stirring occasionally,
until the fish is hot, about 10 minutes.
