Instructions

  1. Step 1 Prepare vegetables/rice

    Heat a large sauté pan, add olive oil, garlic, onion and peppers and sauté for 2 minutes.

    Add the rice, tomato paste, turmeric, cumin, salt and pepper, to taste and cook, stirring for 1 to 2 minutes, to coat rice with oil from the pan and to lightly toast the spices.

    Add the chicken stock and bay leaf, bring liquid to boil; reduce to simmer, cover and cook 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2 Prepare fish

    Toss the diced fish with salt and pepper, to taste.

    Add to the simmering liquid in pan, re-cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

    Once dry, turn off the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3 To serve

    Divide mixture among 4 serving plates or bowls. Top each with 1/8 cup of peas, 1 Tablespoon of pimento, and 1 teaspoon of chopped cilantro.
