Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Catfish stew is the quick Nigerian fish stew: steaks of fresh catfish laid into a fried sauce of blended red pepper, tomato, scotch bonnet and onion, cooked in palm oil (or vegetable oil), and left to simmer without stirring until the fish is done. It is thinner and lighter than the beef stews, and it goes with white rice, boiled yam, plantain, or a spoonful beside ewedu and okra. It is a favourite in the south-west, where fresh catfish is sold live at the market.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 8 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
