Oven-Roasted Tilapia With Spicy Tomato Sauce
Adapted from Morou Ouattara
Time: 1 hour
For the sauce:
1 1/2 medium onions
3 tomatoes, whole
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dry shrimp powder (sold in Asian markets)
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Salt to taste
For the fish:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt, more to taste
Freshly black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon paprika
4 whole tilapia, gutted and cleaned (about 1 1/2 pounds each).
____________
1. To prepare sauce: quarter an onion, and place in a medium saucepan with tomatoes. Cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, or until onion is soft. Remove from heat, and transfer to a blender. Purée until smooth. Remove from blender, and set aside.
2. Dice remaining onion half. Heat oil in a small saucepan. Cook onion until golden brown. Add tomato mixture, and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp powder, paprika and salt and cook for 5 more minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste. Remove from heat, and set aside.
3. For the fish: heat oven to 400 degrees, and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In small bowl, mix vegetable oil with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika and 4 tablespoons tomato sauce. Rub over fish.
4. Place fish on foil, and bake on middle rack of oven about 40 minutes or until cooked. Serve fish on a platter, with remaining tomato sauce on the side.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
I don't have fish... um... ever, so it'd make a nice change, don't you think? And here I go babbling again, sorrysorry!
What else is in today's Times?
Nothing I want to cook. Okay. *wanders off discontently*
