Red Snapper in Spicy Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
1 tsp. vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2-4 cloves of garlic, minced
14.5 oz can of tomatoes, diced, with juices reserved
1 jalepeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 lb. red snapper filets (about four small)
1 tsp. grated lime zest
2 tbl. fresh lime juice
1/4 cup sliced black olives
2 tbl chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat and saute onion and garlic until tender (2-3 minutes). Add the tomatoes with juice. Add the jalepeno, sugar, cumin, and black pepper and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Add a few tablespoons of water if the mixture gets dry.
Rinse snapper filets and pat dry. Add the snapper filets and the remaining ingredients except for the cilantro and simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for 10-13 minutes, or until the fish flakes when prodded with a fork.
Remove the filets from the pan and place on a serving platter. Stir cilantro into the sauce, then pour the sauce over the filets and serve.
