Instructions
- Peel the plantains and cut them into thick rounds about 1 cm thick, on the diagonal if you want more surface area.
- Season the fish fillets with the salt, pepper, crumbled stock cube and garlic powder, then leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Make the onion-chilli sauce by frying the onion rings and chopped chilli in the oil, then add the vinegar and a little diced tomato.
- Heat the frying oil to 170 °C in a deep pan. Fry the fish fillets for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden, then drain them.
- Fry the plantain rounds in the same oil at 160 °C for 4 to 5 minutes, until well browned and caramelised. Drain them on kitchen paper.
- Arrange the plantains and fish on a plate and spoon over the onion-chilli sauce. Serve straight away.
Variations and tips
Oven version. Brush the plantains and fish with oil and bake them at 200 °C for 15 to 20 minutes, for a less greasy version.
