Fish stew (ghaliyeh mahi)

Ingredients



1.Fish fillet 12 pieces stew size (I used tilapia you may use salmon, cat fish or flounder)
2.Parsley 2 bunches
3.Cilantro 1 bunch
4.Dried fenugreek 1 Tbsp
5.Garlic 8 cloves
6.Tamarind paste ½- 1 cup (seeded and a little diluted)
7.Hot red pepper
8.Oil
9.Salt to taste

Directions

Peel garlic and cut them in small pieces, sauté on 4 Tbsp of canola oil.

Take the parsley and cilantro leaves from their stems, wash them and let get dry then cut them in small pieces. Add the greens and fenugreek to the garlic and fry for 7-10 minutes. With adding 1 cup of water and ½ cup of tamarind paste let them cook in low heat. You may need more water or if you like more sour taste add more tamarind!

In a nonstick skillet pan fried fish pieces in both sides.

When the stew boils for 15 minutes add salt and pepper then fish and let cook for another 10 minutes.

Serve on rice

Enjoy!
