Theiboudienne. Tchep, chep poisson, cebuu jeen, so many names for a very popular dish based on rice, fish and stewed vegetables, which from Senegal, where it is the national dish, has spread throughout West Africa. Its variant with meat is also very popular, equally tasty and delicious.

Time 1 ½ hours

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 400 gr of broken rice/patna
  • 600 gr of fish fillet (of your choice: grouper, sea bream, sea bass)
  • 300 gr of carrots
  • 300 gr of cabbage
  • 150 gr of pumpkin
  • 2 fresh tomatoes
  • 150 gr of tomato puree
  • 3 onions
  • 2 small oval aubergines
  • 4 tablespoons of peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
  • chili powder
  • 1 pinch of black pepper – salt to taste

 

Preparation

 

Clean and wash the vegetables and cut them into chunks, leaving some larger pieces. Peel and finely chop the onions and brown them in a saucepan with 4 tablespoons of oil. Pour in the tomato puree, the vegetables and the fish cut into pieces. Add the fish sauce, pepper and chilli, salt and, if necessary, add a little water. Cover and cook on a very low heat for about 30 minutes. When the vegetables are cooked, remove them with a slotted spoon, transfer them to a bowl and keep warm. Pour the rice into the same saucepan in which you cooked the vegetables and pour in enough water to cover it by a finger. Bring to the boil, put the lid on and cook on a very low heat until the cooking liquid has been absorbed (about 30 minutes). Transfer the rice and fish to a serving dish, arrange the still hot vegetables and fish on top and serve immediately. (CC BY-SA 4.0/Tafsir207)
