Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 Bell Pepper chopped
  • 1 Onion (yellow) minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Red Curry Paste
  • 15 oz Coconut Milk (can)
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 4 Tilapia fillets

Instructions

  • Heat oil over medium high heat in a large pot or dutch oven.
  • Add bell pepper, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper and stir.  Cook until onion becomes translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Drop heat to medium heat, add red curry paste, and stir.
  • Add coconut milk and sugar, and stir until well incorporated.
  • Place tilapia filets into stew and spoon some stew over them until the filets are covered.
  • Let tilapia filets cook until they have turned white and flake easily with a fork.  I break my tilapia filets up into small chunks which are easier for my children to eat.
  • Once the fish is cooked, serve warm over white rice.
