Instructions

  1. Pass the banana leaves quickly over a flame to soften them, then wipe them dry.
  2. Cut the tomatoes and onions into thin rounds, slice the chillies and crush the garlic.
  3. Season the fish slices with salt, pepper, lime juice and garlic.
  4. Lay a banana leaf, add a little tomato and onion, then a slice of fish, top with chilli and a drizzle of oil, then fold it into a parcel.
  5. Arrange the parcels in a steamer basket over a pot of simmering water and cook for 30 to 35 minutes.
  6. Open the parcels at the table so the aroma escapes, and serve with cassava or rice.

Variations and tips

In the oven. Bake the parcels on a tray at 200 °C for 25 minutes instead of steaming.
