CREAMY COD STEW

Preparation Method :

• Score a cross in the base of each tomato. Soak in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into cold water.
• Drain and peel the skin away from the cross. Chop the tomatoes, discarding the cores and seeds and reserving any juices.
• Put the dried shrimp in a small bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 10 minutes, then drain.
• Heat the oil in a large, wide saucepan or sauté pan. Add the onion and capsicum and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the chilli and garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and juices, peanut butter, coconut milk, okra, paprika and dried shrimp.
• Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the okra are tender.
• Meanwhile, cut the cod into large chunks.
• Add the fish to the pan, stir and simmer gently to cook. Test after 3 minutes-if the cod flakes easily, it is ready. Season and scatter the coriander over the top.
