Fresh Fish Gravy With Fruity Rice

fresh fish gravy served with rice and sweet fruits

Fresh fish gravy is one of those healthy tasty dishes that I can serve and even eat daily without complain. It is fast and easy to cook,  looks so appetizing and rich when served.

For the kids who complain whenever there is pepper in food, I warned them earlier , that this dish is for adults because, I cannot afford to cook or eat fresh fish without enough fresh pepper.

The warning failed to get them deterred. With sounds of heavy breathing in and out through their mouths, they quietly devoured this peppery fish, Quietly, I mean.  They knew I wasn't begging anyone to eat, so, they behaved and even confessed that they enjoyed the pepper. Lol!

 Cooking Procedure:
For those who know how to cook fresh fish pepper soup, you can  follow that method, but remember to thicken a little with flour.

1. microwave fish in salted water ( For very big fishes, to enable them cook right inside too) For smaller fish, you can skip microwaving and just cook the fish in in a pot with salted water before adding in your gravy
2. For the fish gravy, saute' the chopped white part of spring onion, chopped cabbage, chopped or ground red pepper and seasoning. Add a little flour, stir, check for salt before pouring into the salted microwaved or boiled fresh fish.
3. Simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, or as long as you want the gravy to seep into the fresh fish."cook in a deep pot so that the fish sinks inside and gets covered by the sauce, Check again for salt, taste  and thickness before turning off the heat.
4. Serve with boiled or curried rice, boiled yam or boiled unripe plantain.
