Cooking Fish

I want to blog more about living in Kenya. So, as I do things, I will try to remember to blog about them. Tonight I prepared fish. Here is how I did it... step by step.

1. Gather the raw materials: fried talapia from the market and vegetables from the woman near our house



2. Chop the veggies (we forgot to get green pepper.)



3. Cook the onions in a little bit of oil until they are golden brown



4. Add the tomatoes and cook until soft. Pound them into a sauce.



5. Add seasoning with a little bit of water.



6. Add salt



7. Add cilantro and bring to a boil



8. Add the fish and cover with a little bit of the sauce.



9. Simmer for 10 minutes and flip fish over. Simmer for another 10 minutes.

10. Get the ugali flour and boil water.



11. Add ugali flour to boiling water. I don't know how to measure how much water and how much flour. I can just feel when it's right.



12. Mix well with ugali spoon. Should form a thick paste.



13. Cover and cook until finished. Again, I don't know how long. I can smell when it's done.

14. Flip over onto a plate and let it cool.





15. Eat and enjoy!



(The ugali is used like a spoon. You take a handful, form it into a little basket and use it to scoop up the soup and fish. Be sure to watch out for bones!)
