After raving about Lamu at the beginning of this week we figured you might be in the mood for some swahili food. Lucky for you, we wrote down Abdalla’s Coconut Fish Curry recipe, which should delight your taste buds and put you in an island mood.
1 kg fish (we used red snapper)
1/4kg tomatoes
1 large onion
1 cup coconut puree
1 large bell pepper
2 large carrots
2-3 cloves of garlic to taste
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c cooking oil
Directions:
Boil fish and remove the bones. Cut vegetables as desired. Heat cooking oil and sauté: onions, pepper, carrots, tomatoes. Add fish just before the vegetables are finished, stir mixture for three minutes. Slowly add coconut milk and salt. Simmer for five minutes. (Additional salt can be added to taste at this point). Keep at low heat, covered until ready to serve. Best served with rice.
