SAVEUR contributor Lucretia Bingham brought this recipe back from a visit to the Bahamian village she lived in as a child. Grouper is abundant—and thus popular—in the Bahamas, but any firm-fleshed fish will work in this recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 small yellow onions, peeled and cut into sixths
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded, cored, and cut into strips
- 3⁄4 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 5 tbsp. tomato paste
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lb. skinless grouper filet, cut into 3" pieces
- 1 tsp. lemon pepper
- 2-3 pinches cayenne
