Mexican fish stew topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 tilapia fillets (170g each), cut into 4 pieces
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 limes (2 juiced, 1 sliced)
- 250 g new potatoes, cut into large slices
- 4 small ears of frozen corn
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tbsp chili powder (See the recipe for the chili pepper spice mix here)
- 1 bunch cilantro, leaves separated from stems and coarsely chopped
- 450 g canned fried tomatoes
Preparation:
- Place the fish in a shallow dish, season with salt and pepper. Add lime juice, stir, and let marinate. Place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and season with salt. Bring to a boil, add the corn, and simmer, covered, until half-cooked, about 8 minutes. Set aside 1 cup of the vegetable broth for braising, and discard the remaining broth.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion (except 1/3 cup) and thyme and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, and half of the cilantro leaves and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and continue cooking until some of the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add potatoes, corn, and the remaining broth.
- Add the fish and marinade to the pan and continue simmering, basting the fish with the sauce, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the fish and vegetables on plates, sprinkle with the remaining onion and cilantro. Serve the braised fish with lime wedges.
