RECIPE :: Tilapia in red pepper sauce

Total time: 1hr10mins            Yield: 8            Level: Easy

I love bell peppers. You can serve this sauce with yam, rice or pasta.

You need
4 whole tilapia-scaled 
4 tablespoons seasoning powder
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons chopped garlic 
2 large onions
7 large bell peppers
4 scotch bonnets
3 small tomatoes 
3 cups vegetable oil 

Cut off the head if you don't want it and wash properly. Don't soak the fish in water because it's delicate.

Season the fish and let it marinate for few minutes. 

Roughly blend the garlic, peppers and onion.

Boil the blended pepper to remove the sour taste.

Heat up the vegetable oil and fry the sliced onion.

Pour the boiled pepper and cook for about 10 minutes.

Place the fish carefully and let it cook properly on both sides. don't STIR with a spoon just SHAKE the pot in circular motions. 

Enjoy!

Have a nice day

Raheenah

O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allah or [the sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking of] the sacrificial animals and garlanding [them] or [violate the safety of] those coming to the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord and [His] approval. But when you come out of ihram, then [you may] hunt. And do not let the hatred of a people for having obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Haram lead you to transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. {Al-Ma'idah 5:2}
