Recipe Yield
1 fish
Ingredients
| 1 medium-sized tilapia/croaker fish | 1 tsp. suya spice |
| 1 tsp chili pepper | 1 seasoning cube |
| Cameroon pepper | 2 tbsp vegetable oil |
| 2 cloves of garlic (crushed) | 1 small onion |
| salt to taste | 1/2 tsp ginger powder |
| 1 tbsp Curry and thyme each |
Instructions
- Clean the fish in salted water, removing the scales, gills and gut.
- In a small bowl, mix the peppers, suya spice, ginger, garlic, salt and seasonings.
- Place the fish on an aluminium foil and make some slashes on the body with a knife before rubbing the marinade into and around the fish with a brush or clean fingers. This will allow the marinade penetrate the fish well. Cover with the foil and allow to rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Remove from fridge and place in a glass bowl or microwave dish, still covered in foil. If your microwave has a grill option, great. If not, cook for 90 seconds with a 30 minute interval. Do this until your fish is cooked. This requires a lot of attention.
Your fish can be eaten with chips or rice.
