Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Mince the garlic cloves, seed and finely chop the red hot chili peppers, chop the tomato, and finely chop the onion.
- Cut the white fish into chunks and set aside.
- Slice the olives if they are not pre-sliced.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a bit of oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic, red hot chili peppers, and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the mixture is fragrant (about 5 minutes).
- Add the chopped tomato, fish sauce, orange juice, and the cinnamon stick to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow the mixture to cook and meld together for about 10-15 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully add the chunks of white fish to the pot.
- Add the capers and sliced olives.
- Stir gently to mix and coat the fish with the stew.
- Allow the stew to simmer gently, uncovered, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (about 10 minutes). Be careful not to over-stir so as to keep the fish pieces intact.
- Remove the cinnamon stick.
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
- Ladle the South American Fish Stew into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy with fresh bread or over a bed of rice if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure your white fish is fresh to maximize the flavor of the stew.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of red hot chili peppers based on your heat preference.
- Let the stew simmer longer to allow the flavors to meld if you have extra time.
- Remove the cinnamon stick before serving to avoid an overpowering spice note.
- Use a fish with a firm texture to prevent it from breaking apart during cooking.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
