FOR THE FISH STUFFING

  • First, prepare the fish stuffing. Blitz the parsley, coriander, garlic cloves, shallots, hot peppers, and stock cubes in a food processor or blender and set aside.

FOR THE THIEBOUDIENNE

  • Clean the fish and make 2 to 3 deep holes in each piece. Stuff each hole with the green mixture.
  • Wash and peel all the vegetables. Make sure to cut them in big chunks.
  • Heat the peanut oil. Add the onions and the green pepper and fry for a few minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook at medium heat. Next, add the crushed tomatoes and cook until they have darkened to a deep red.
  • Add the water. Once the water is boiling, add the vegetables and the dried fish and let it cook for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, add the stuffed fish to the pot. Cook everything for about 30-40 minutes.
  • Take the fish and the vegetables out of the pot and set them aside.
  • Mix the onions, tomatoes, garlic, salt, and seasoning cube in a blender and add them to the pot.
  • Steam the broken rice for 10 minutes in the microwave and then add it to the pot (make sure there is enough liquid to cover the rice). Otherwise, add some water and salt and pepper if needed.
  • Cook 15 to 25 minutes. Stir occasionally while cooking.
  • Before serving, add the vegetables and the fish back to the pot and cook for a few minutes.
  • Prepare a nice serving plate by placing the rice, vegetables, and fish in a decorative way.
