Smoorsnoek

This is delicious and quick dish to make and any left over fish can also be used. We normally use snoek which is a local Cape Town fish but any cooked fish can also be substituted. Serve on rice with a side salad.

Ingredients
2 large onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
pinch of ground cloves
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
a blob of butter
2 large tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried red chillies
5 medium potatoes, cubed
750 g smoked snoek – or other cooked fish
freshly ground black pepper
freshly chopped parsley


Method
1. Flake the snoek, taking care to remove all the bones.
2. Fry the onion in the oil and butter until lightly browned.
3. Add the garlic and chillies.
4. Add the tomatoes and braise for a few minutes.
5. Add the flaked snoek, ground cloves and black pepper.
6. Add the potato cubes and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.
