Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Base

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Mix in Peanut Butter

    Stir in the peanut butter, ensuring it melts and combines well with the tomato mixture.

  5. 5

    Pour in Water

    Gradually add the water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  6. 6

    Season the Soup

    Add salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cook the Red Snapper

    Add the red snapper fillets to the soup, cover, and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
