Description

Another great sweet and savoury dish that is very easy to make. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Salted Fish without skin
  • 3 Sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup Chopped Green, yellow, orange peppers
  • 1 Onion
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/3 cup Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Soak your fish in cold water 24 hours prior. If you haven’t, you can boil it for 30 min and drain them.
  2. Put some olive oil in a pan on medium high heat. Slightly pan fry your fish. While stirring, sautéed your onions for 3 min. Then, add your peppers with some black pepper for 3-4 minutes. Add a little bit of water to eat and let it simmer for 3 min, then turn it off.
  3. In a different sauce pan, boil your sweet potatoes in salted water for 15-20 min until they are soft but firm.
  4. Let them cool first, then remove the skin from your potatoes. Cut them in slices and put then on top of your fish and put the lid it. Let them simmer for a couple of minutes .
  5. Now, eat it!

Notes

If you have forgot to soak your fish the day before, you can boil it on low-high for 30 min. Drain the water and taste the fish. If it is still too salty, repeat the process until you get the desire amount of salt in your fish. 

Please be aware that this process might break down your fish even more.
