North African Jewish · Friday fish — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms it as a spicy fish stew with tomatoes from North Africa and explains the name's derivation. That it is North African rather than native to Israel is stated rather than glossed over. Quantities and method are this book's own.

步骤

Warm the oil in a wide shallow pan and cook the garlic over LOW heat for 3 minutes — soft and fragrant, never brown.
💡 Low heat. Browned garlic turns bitter and there is so much of it here that bitterness would take over the whole pan.
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the paprika, cumin and caraway. Put it back on low.
Add the tomato, purée, chilli, red pepper, water and salt and simmer 15 minutes until it thickens.
Slide the fish in in one layer and spoon the sauce over it. Cover and cook 10 minutes without stirring.
💡 Do not stir once the fish is in. Shake the pan by the handle instead — a spoon breaks the steaks into flakes.
Add the lemon juice, cover again and give it 3 more minutes.
Scatter the coriander and serve straight from the pan with challah or flatbread.

💡 小贴士

It is better the next day and is often made on Thursday for Friday night, which is exactly why it exists in that form.
The name comes from an Arabic root meaning hot or spicy. Three chillies is a fair Israeli middle; Libyan households go higher.
Serve it in the pan with bread and no cutlery. Everyone eats around the fish and the sauce is the point.
