The flavors of North Africa make this dish special. The cooking process is a unique combination of steaming and poaching, which takes a little extra time. Be careful not to disturb the fish while basting; the vegetables cook down and become part of the sauce.

Directions

  1. Layer the tomatoes, peppers and garlic in a large skillet. Place the fish on top of the vegetables. Pour the water and olive oil around the sides of the skillet.

  2. Turn the flame on medium-low. Sprinkle the fish with the paprika, turmeric, salt and pepper. Top the spiced fish with the chopped cilantro.

  3. Bring the liquid to a slow simmer and cook for 40 minutes, basting the fish with the liquid often. Do not touch the fish while it cooks.

  4. Serve hot, cold or at room temperature.
