Cooking Steps
- Chop the onion and dice the carrot.
- Crush or mince the garlic.
- Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan for the rice.
- Melt the butter in a wok or deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the garlic, onion and Mexican spices* for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the carrot, coconut milk and chopped tomatoes, then crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
- Allow to simmer gently over medium-low heat for 10 - 12 minutes, covered.
- Boil the rice for 10 - 12 minutes, covered, then drain and set aside.
- Finely chop the coriander (see Tip 1).
- Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper and cut into 3cm chunks. Shortly before serving, transfer the fish to the stew and poach gently for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper (see Tip 2).
Tip 1: coriander stalks are also full of flavour. Don't discard them, but be sure to chop them extra fine.
Tip 2: if you'd prefer the stew to be spicier, you can add sambal from your pantry!
- Serve the rice with the fish stew.
- Garnish with the fresh coriander.
