Kenyan Baked Fish with Tomatoes and Spices (Mtuzi Wa Samaki)
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
1 large onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seed and chopped or other very hot peppers
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 can (16 oz.) whole tomatoes, drained and chopped
2 Tbsp. vinegar
1-1/4 tsp. ground cumin
3/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. salt
4 halibut steaks, 1″ thick
Instructions:
Cook and stir the onion, garlic and peppers in oil in 10″ skillet over medium heat until the onion is tender. Reduce the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the fish. Cook uncovered over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Arrange the fish in an ungreased oblong baking dish 12″ x 7-1/2″ x 2″. Spoon the tomato mixture over the fish and cook uncovered in a 350F oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle the fish with the snipped fresh cilantro.
Yields 4 servings.
