Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 whole catfish
  • 2 whole habanero pepper
  • 1 tbsp ginger
  • 1 tbsp seasoning powder
  • 2 tbsp pepper soup spice
  • 1 whole onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
Blend the onion, habanero peppers and four cloves of garlic; set aside.
  • ½ tbsp oil
Add about half a tablespoon of oil to the pan; without waiting for it to get completely hot, add grated ginger and the blended aromatics and cook 30 seconds to one minute.
  • salt
  • crayfish
Add the catfish slices; season with salt and seasoning powder, then add crayfish. Mix gently, as the fish is delicate.
Cover and simmer on low for 30 seconds to one minute so the fish absorbs the seasoning.
  • 5 cup water
Add about five cups of water, rinsing the blender with it, and mix a little.
Adding water and pepper soup spice
Add the pepper soup spice, mixing it into the water rather than the fish; cook about seven to ten minutes, until the fish is done inside.
  • green bell peppers and red bell peppers
  • basil leaves
Add the remaining ginger, green and red bell peppers and basil leaves (or mint); simmer about a minute more.
Bell peppers and basil to finish
Serve as it is or with rice, yam or boiled plantains.
