Steamed Snapper with Okra

Ingredients:

150g okra (washed and trimmed)
200g pumpkin

(peeled and cubed)
4 medium snapper fish

(or other firm white fish)
Olive oil
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 onion (thinly sliced)

Serves: 4

1 tin chopped tomatoes

½ tsp coarse black pepper

1 tsp ground coriander

1 bay leaf
2 whole pimentos
2 sprigs thyme

1 scotch bonnet pepper (optional)

Preparation

Season the fish with the scotch bonnet, garlic, black pepper, bay leaf, ground coriander and thyme. This can be done in advance and left to marinade in the fridge overnight.
Cook the okra, pumpkin and onion in the olive oil for 5-7 minutes in a non-stick pan, add the tomatoes and a little water if necessary. Then place the marinated fish on top of the vegetables and cover with a tight fitting lid.
Simmer on a low heat for 20 minutes or until the flesh is cooked all the way through. Serve with boiled yams.
