Steps

1hr 30 minutes

1

Clean fish thoroughly. Cut into pieces. Blend all the spices and coat the fish evenly and set aside in refrigerator. I put mine in a bag until ready to use.
2

For the sauce for stew: take tomatoes onions garlic ginger and scotch bonnet peps into a blender and blend until smooth and pour into a pot and set aside. Take all the seasonings and blend until no lumps and add to the sauce. Add the maggi and chicken breast for flavor. Turn the sauce on medium heat and cover.
3

Get out your fish and fry in a seperate pan until golden brown on both sides. I have just enough oil to cover halfway up with fish.
4

Once golden take out and set aside.
5

6

Stir as needed. The sauce should condense to a nice thick consistency. Add more water if needed.
7

Add the fish to sauce and the sesame oil and stir it together. Remove the chicken for the next day. Taste your sauce and adjust flavors as needed. Plate and serve 😃 make yourself a joyful evening enjoy!!
