Hello my blogger friends,
this time our kitchen was full of Mexican mood and flavours. We love fish, however many times I struggle how to prepare it. So this time I have been browsing in my husband’s country and prepare Veracruz – style fish (tilapia). It is one of the less spicy dishes of Mexican cuisine – delicious.
What do you need:
6 pieces white fish (tilapia)
6 larger tomatoes
1 bigger onion
2 – 3 garlic cloves
green olives
capers
jalapeno chillies – optional
1/2 tsp dried oregano
vegetable stock
chilli olive oil
1 cup rice
I start with tomato salsa preparation and always the same way. Take a pan, place tomatoes, onion and garlic cloves and let it burn. In Mexican cuisine you do not need to worry about burning ingredients for salsa preparation. It gives it such a good taste. Once you have it done, put everything in blender and blend it until smooth, together with vegetable stock. There are different ways of preparing salsa and one of them you can find here.
Pour salsa into the bigger pan, add oregano and if you fancy add chillies at this point as well. Cook approximately 8 – 10 minutes and add olives and capers. Afterwards, add frozen or fresh white fish (we like tilapia, cod or haddock), cover with lid and cook until is fish done (approximately 15 – 20 minutes). When is salsa cooking with fish, start with rice preparation as well. At the end – serve and enjoy!
