Kawari (dried fish stew)

Instructions

1. Soak the dried fish for an hour in lukewarm water to soften it, then rinse it and remove the largest bones.
2. Fry the sliced onion and garlic in the oil until golden.
3. Add the grated tomatoes, the paste and the chilies, then let it reduce for 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the fish and fry it for 3 minutes so it soaks up the sauce.
5. Pour in the water, cover and simmer gently for 25 minutes.
6. Season and add a squeeze of lemon before serving.
