Ingredients
- 1 1/2 yuca roots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 green plantain, peeled and cut into thick slices
- 2 cups water, plus more as needed
- 1 qt coconut milk
- 2 lb firm white fish, cut into large chunks
- 1 ají chombo (habanero or Scotch bonnet), left whole
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt, to taste (about 1 tsp)
Method
- Put the yuca and plantain in a large pot with the water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes, until nearly tender.
- Pour in the coconut milk and bring back to a gentle simmer — do not boil hard or the coconut milk may split.
- Add the fish chunks and the whole ají chombo, and simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily.
- Remove the whole pepper (leave it in longer, or pierce it, only if you want real heat).
- Stir in the lemon juice, adjust the salt, and serve hot in bowls with the broth spooned over.
