Peixada Baiana is a Brazilian stew that takes skill to make: fish fillets are gently cooked in coconut milk and spices, with steady heat needed to thicken the sauce without splitting it.
Sauté the onion, tomatoes and red pepper over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and simmer gently over low heat for 40 minutes, until thickened.
Add the fish fillets to the sauce and cook for a further 15 minutes, stirring gently.
Do not let the sauce boil vigorously; keep it at a gentle simmer, as a rolling boil can split the coconut milk. Add the fish last and avoid stirring too much, or it will break apart. Allergen: contains fish.
