Brazilian Fish Stew
Flavorful stew with marinated tilapia, bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions in a coconut milk broth.
Servings: 6 people
Calories: 260kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons cumin
- 1.5 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon pepper
- 2 pounds tilapia fillets, cut in half (they can be frozen, just thaw slightly to cut)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 ounces frozen pepper and onion strips (1 bag)
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes, drained (1 can)
- 14 ounces light unsweetened coconut milk (1 can)
- 1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add in the tilapia and mix until coated.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 20 minutes or so.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or casserole over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions and cook until they begin to thaw, about 3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and marinated tilapia and mix them in.
- Pour the coconut milk over everything, mix and cover, and simmer about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In the last few minutes, stir in the cilantro (optional).
- When the tilapia is cooked through, garnish with additional cilantro (if desired) and serve.
Notes
- Make the marinade and coat the tilapia ahead of time (even the night before!) and store in the refrigerator. This will save time when you are ready to cook.
- Marinating time is optional. Marinating results in the best flavor, but the times that I have skipped that step because of time constraints, the stew still turned out delicious.
- If you want to use fresh peppers and onions, use 2 large bell peppers, cut into strips, and 1 medium onion, chopped.
- The coconut milk may be a little lumpy when you first add it, but as it cooks it will combine with the rest of the stew.
- The fish is done when it starts to flake as you stir. It is best to not overcook, so pay attention and remove from heat when that happens.
