INSTRUCTIONS
TOO HOT TAMALES SHOW #TH6199
Heat a large castiron and enamel or other heavy casserole over low heat and
add the olive oil. Sweat the onion and peppers together for about 5
minutes, or until nicely softened. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and
chiles and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the fish stock and coconut milk and
bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until the peppers are tender. Add the green onions and all
the fish, cover, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes more, stirring together gently
twice during the cooking time. Add the lime juice, dende oil, and cilantro
and simmer for 5 minutes more. Serve in large heated bowls, sprinkled with
the toasted coconut and diced limes. Offer fried plantains and white rice
on the side, if desired
Yield: 6 servings
Note: Dende oil is Brazilian palm oil, available in Latin American markets.
Be sure to get the Brazilian rather than the West African product, which is
much heavier. Or use half the amount of the West African palm oil and
substitute vegetable oil for the other half.
