Method

Step 1

Place the celery, carrot, bay leaf, garlic, ginger, allspice, thyme and fish stock in a pan. Bring to a gentle boil, add the lid, turn down the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the red pepper, okra, green banana and chayote and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Step 3

Finally, add the spring onions and pepper, stir, add the red snapper chunk, cook for 3-4 minutes and serve.

Recipe tips

This works well with most fish such as chunks of salmon, cod, monkfish or large prawns.
If you can't get chayote, use deseeded cucumber or courgette - it won't need as much cooking so add in step 3 with the spring onions.
You can use any vegetables you have - sweet peppers, courgette, mangetout, baby corn or florets of broccoli or cauliflower.
