Preparation
Tomato Rice
- In a large pot, heat the chopped onion and garlic in olive oil, add the peppers and cook until it becomes a bit soft, seasoning with a bit of salt.
- Add the chopped tomato and dry rice, mix a bit, then add the water (seasoned with salt) or broth, cover and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once rice is 3/4 of the way cooked, add the tomato sauce, mix well and continue to cook on low, stirring more frequently to keep from sticking, and checking the seasoning.
- Once rice is fully-cooked, it should should still be wet, do not let the rice become dry.
- Stir in the chopped parsley or coriander and it’s ready to serve.
Pan-Fried Hake Fillets
- Season the fillets with salt, juice of half a lemon and sliced garlic, mix well and let marinate for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Heat up the olive oil in a large sauce pan, fill to about a half-inch with oil, keep the heat on medium to medium high (too high will burn the fish before it cooks it).
- You can test the oil to see if it’s ready with a dash of flour or water to see if it sizzles.
- Take fillets directly from marinade and coat in flour, then in egg.
- Gently place coated fillets into pan, about two at a time, turning a couple of times until golden brown.
- Remove and place on a paper-towels, also cover with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
- Serve immediately with the rice.
