    Indulge in the rich flavours of Uganda with this smoked fish in peanut sauce recipe, a comforting dish that blends the smoky taste of fish with the creamy decadence of groundnuts, all served over a bed of fluffy rice.

    Ingredients

    • 500g smoked fish (tilapia)
    • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
    • 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
    • 1 green pepper, chopped 
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1 cup of peanut butter
    • 6 cups water 
    • 1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon curry powder and black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
    • 3 cloves of garlic 
    • 2 cups rice (preferably basmati or long-grain rice)

    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the smoked fish

    1. If the smoked fish has scales or skin, carefully remove them. Wash the fish gently in warm water. Break the fish into medium pieces.

    Step 2: Cook the peanut sauce

    1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
    2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until soft and add your crushed garlic.
    3. Stir in the tomatoes and green pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until the mixture forms a thick base.
    4. Add the peanut butter and mix well. Gradually add water or fish stock, stir to ensure a smooth consistency.
    5. Season with salt, black pepper,and curry powder. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
    6. Gently place the smoked fish pieces into the simmering sauce. Reduce the heat and let it cook for 10 minutes. Stir carefully to avoid breaking the fish.

    Step 4: Prepare the rice

    1. Wash the rice thoroughly.
    2. In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and rinsed rice.
    3. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

    Step 5: Serve

    • Plate the rice and ladle the smoked fish in peanut sauce alongside.
    • Pair with a side of sautéed greens or avocado.
