Palm Nut Soup with Fish: a homemade version with weighed ingredients and detailed preparation.

Ingredients

600 g raw hake fillets, skinless and boneless
300 g ready-to-use palm fruit pulp, unsalted
400 g tomatoes
150 g onion
10 g garlic
10 g olive oil
300 ml water
4 g salt
1 g fresh chili

Preparation

Prepare the ingredients by edible weight. Mince the onion, chop the garlic, and cut the tomatoes.

Sauté the onion in oil for 5 minutes over moderate heat. Add the garlic, tomatoes, and chili, then cook for another 5 minutes.

Pour in the water and the ready-to-use palm fruit pulp. Mix and simmer for 15 minutes. This is fruit pulp, not palm kernel oil.

Add the fish pieces and cook for about 10 minutes, until 63 °C at the core. Check for bones.

Add the salt and reduce uncovered if necessary. Serve hot; side dishes are counted separately.
