Preparation
- Begin by rinsing your white fish fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces, and season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor, setting them aside as you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic and ginger to release their rich aromas.
- Add 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1 chopped bell pepper to the pot. Cook these vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften.
- Pour in 1 can of coconut milk and 1 cup of vegetable or chicken broth, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Mix in 2 teaspoons of fish sauce, the juice of 1 lime, and 2 teaspoons of curry powder. Stir everything together and taste to adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
- Gently introduce the seasoned fish pieces into the pot, submerging them in the simmering liquid. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
- Now, stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach or kale, allowing them to wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the stew from heat and ladle it into bowls. Garnish each serving with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
