Number Of Ingredients 17

3 pounds White Fish
1 package Cilantro or Parsley
2 Onion Quartered
4 cloves Garlic Peeled and Whole
1 Large Tomato Thickly Sliced
1 Red or Green Bell Pepper Thickly Sliced
4 Medium Potato Thickly Sliced
4 Carrots Quartered Vertically
1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 tablespoon Sweet or Hot Paprika
1/2 cup Sliced Almonds
1 cup Pitted Kalamata Olives
1/3 cup Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/2 tablespoon Salt
1/2 tablespoon Pepper

Steps:

  • Use a wide, shallow pot, if possible. This is important because the pot liquid is less likely to dry out.
  • If you're using frozen fish, thaw it and put it to soak in cold water to cover; squeeze half a lemon into the water. Fresh fish doesn't need the lemon water treatment.
  • Let the fish soak for 10 minutes, then rinse it. Slice the fish into pieces about three fingers wide. Put the slices aside.
  • Place the cilantro or parsley on the bottom of the pot.
  • Place the vegetables on top of the greens and set the pieces of fish on top of the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle vegetable and fish with the dry spices.
  • Pour the olive oil over the whole thing.
  • Add no water nor any other liquid. The ingredients will release their juices and form a thin but rich sauce. Cover the pot and set it over a medium flame.
  • Check it after 20 minutes, making sure that it's not drying out.
  • When the vegetables are cooked through and the liquid has cooked down to a thin sauce, it's ready: it should take about 30 minutes total.
  • Serve it hot, with plenty of bread to sop up the delicious sauce.
