This recipe is native to Portugal. There are generally many fish dishes, and in most cases vegetables are used as accompaniment to fish, giving a hot "southern" taste.
What is good about such a stewed fish is that it immediately comes with a side dish. And all products are saturated with each other's aromas and tastes, creating a very balanced... symphony. Can I put it that way, I think?
And all this is quite simple to prepare.
We take:
- Fish fillet - five hundred grams, or more;
- Onion;
- A couple of cloves of garlic;
- A couple of tomatoes;
- Sweet bell pepper - one piece;
- And a little chili pepper;
- Several potatoes (see for yourself by the number, so that the potatoes do not completely overshadow the fish;
- A bunch of cilantro;
- Oils a couple of tablespoons;
- 200 ml of dry white wine;
- Salt, pepper, bay leaf - to taste
How we cook:
Do you know what is most convenient here? We cut all vegetables the way you like. Someone loves smaller - for health, someone loves larger - also for health, the only thing is that they must be prepared for thirty minutes, because otherwise we will spoil the fish.
And one more thing - do not forget to peel the chili pepper from seeds and partitions.
In short, the first step is to clean and chop all the vegetables, and chop the garlic finely and finely, like cilantro. And we mix all this, so as not to interfere with sweat, salt, pepper,
Cut the fillet into portions.
Pour a little oil into a saucepan with a thick bottom or a brazier, put half of the vegetables, fish on them, and cover with the other half of the vegetables. Fill with wine, cover with a lid and send to the fire - stewed for thirty to thirty-five minutes.
It is not necessary to stir the dish - the fish will fall apart, therefore, periodically, without opening the pan or roasting pan, gently shake it - so that the broth is distributed.
If you are afraid that the dish will have a pronounced fish aroma, do not need it, tomatoes and wine take it well.
The result is a hearty stew with a pleasant tomato and grape sourness.
Bon Appetit!
