Cooking fish with vegetables is a traditional method that has evolved into various versions, adapting to available ingredients and each family's preferences. By trying this recipe, you will bring a touch of that tradition into your kitchen. Essential ingredients: - 2 fish weighing about 800g (catfish or any preferred fish) - 2 medium onions - 4 cloves of garlic - 1/2 bell pepper (either red or green, depending on preference) - Salt and pepper, to taste - Juice of one lemon - 4 tablespoons of corn (fresh or canned) - 1 tablespoon of olive oil (for a richer taste) - 100 ml of water Practical tip: Choose fresh fish with white, firm flesh. You can ask at the market or fish shop about their origin to ensure they are of high quality. Step-by-step preparation: 1. Preparing the fish: Start by cleaning the fish. Remove the scales and internal organs, and rinse them well under cold running water. Once finished, sprinkle the fish with lemon juice and let it sit for 20 minutes. This step will not only add flavor but also help freshen the fish. 2. Preparing the vegetables: In the meantime, peel the onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips (julienne), and slice or mince the garlic. These vegetables will add wonderful texture and delicious flavors during cooking. 3. Seasoning the fish: After the fish has marinated in lemon juice long enough, season it with salt and pepper on both sides. This step is essential to give the fish a balanced and flavorful taste. 4. Assembling in the Dry Cooker: Grease the Dry Cooker pan with olive oil. Carefully place the fish in the pan, then add the sliced vegetables, corn, and water. Cover with the lid and get ready to enjoy an easy-to-cook dish! 5. Cooking the fish: Place the Dry Cooker on low heat and let it cook for 30 minutes. This cooking method allows the ingredients to retain their nutrients and flavors, resulting in tender and delicious fish. 6. Serving: Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the fish and vegetables from the Dry Cooker. Serve the dish immediately, alongside the vegetable sauce, with or without a side. Rice or mashed potatoes are excellent options to accompany this dish. Variations of the recipe: - You can add other vegetables, such as carrots or zucchini, to diversify the taste and texture. - Replace corn with peas or green beans for another flavor and color. - If you want to add a touch of spice, you can include chili flakes or red pepper. Nutritional benefits: Fish is an excellent source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health. Vegetables add vitamins, minerals, and fiber, contributing to a balanced diet. This recipe is suitable for children, providing essential nutrients for growth and development.
