Kariba Bream Fish Stew

Recipe by RumbieCourse: MainCuisine: FusionDifficulty: Easy

My family usually enjoys my grilled and fried versions of prepared fish. I decided to prepare a stew this time and they loved it. It was so delicate, flaked as you cut through with a fork, knife, or spoon, simply enjoyable. Preparing the fish (removing the scales and fins) is my least favourite part!! In fact, at this particular time, I got cut by the fins on my middle finger as I was cutting them off. You can enjoy this with anything from sadza to rice or potatoes.

Equipment

Sharp knife
Chopping board
Teaspoon
Non-stick frying pan
Slotted spoon

Do This

  • Get your ingredients together
  • Wash and de-scale your fish. Cut it into medium-sized pieces. and season with 3/4 tsp salt.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add the fish (in batches if you must, if your pan is small so that your fish is not crowded. A crowded pan/pot causes uneven heat distribution) skin side down.
  • Fry for about 3 minutes on medium-high heat or until the skin is a bit crispy and golden brown on the sides. Flip it over and do likewise on the other side.
  • If cooking in batches, repeat the process until all the fish is cooked. Remove from pan and set aside, sprinkle lemon juice over all the pieces and cover.
  • Using the same pan, add 1 tbsp of oil, onions, garlic, and curry powder. Fry for about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 1/4 tsp salt, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and sweet chili sauce.
  • Stir and allow to cook for another 2 minutes. Add water and stir. Return the fish to the pan, gently placing it into the sauce
  • Close the an and gently simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle spring onion and freshly ground black pepper on top before serving. Enjoy!!
