Baked Fish with Plantain



We served this with the Beef and Green Onion Rice we made previously, again without the beef (for recipe see: http://newrecipestried.blogspot.com/2007/04/beef-and-green-onion-fried-rice.html)

Fijian 50mins

Serves 4

Ingredients
4 Large Fish Cutlets e.g. Cod, Haddock (we used cod)
1 Onion, sliced
4 ripe Plantains (cooking bananas), peeled and sliced
4 Tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 Green Chilies, deseeded and finely chopped
240ml/8fl.oz. Coconut Cream (we made from powdered coconut milk - MAGGI brand)
Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, Gas Mark 4 and lightly oil 4 large pieces of double thickness aluminium foil, each large enough to enclose the fish and vegetables. Traditionally, banana leaves would be used. Alternatively, lightly oil a shallow baking dish.

2. Place the fish in the centre of the foil (or in the dish) and top with the sliced onion, plantain, tomatoes and chilies, in that order. Season with salt. If using foil, pull the edges up a little.

3. Pour the coconut cream over the fish.

4. Form the foil into parcels sealing well to totally enclose the fish, or cover the baking dish with foil, then bake for about 25 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Serve immediately.
