Indulge in Congolese fish stew paired with yams or sweet potatoes for a taste of the vibrant culture.
Ingredients:
  • 10 large collard green leaves
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 medium onions, sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound fish fillets (catfish, tilapia, red snapper)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions:
  • Prepare collard greens by washing the leaves and cutting off the long stems. Shave the remaining thick stem and chop the leaves. In a 2-quart saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the chopped collard greens and cook for 15 to 18 minutes until softened. Drain and pat dry.
  • In a 4-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sauté collard greens, onions, and bell pepper with 2 tablespoons of water and 1 teaspoon of salt in the butter for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are crisp-tender.
  • Slice the fish into 3x3/4-inch strips and combine with the vegetables. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, paprika, and pepper. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the fish is easily flaked with a fork. Serve in large pasta bowls.
