Ingredients

Method

1
Clean and fillet the grouper, removing all bones and skin, then cut the flesh into 2-3 cm chunks and set aside.
2
Peel and chop the onions finely, then peel and halve the tomatoes, removing excess seeds.
3
Trim the aubergines and cut them into 1 cm cubes, and top and tail the okra, leaving them whole.
4
Heat the palm oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, then add the chopped onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
5 minutes
5
Add the grouper chunks and peeled prawns to the pot, stirring gently to coat with the oil, then cook for 3-4 minutes until the fish begins to firm.
6
Dust the flour over the seafood and stir continuously for 2 minutes to create a light roux base.
7
Pour in the water, then add the tomato halves, aubergine cubes, okra, marjoram sprig, bay leaf, peppercorns, ossame, salt, and malaguetta chilli pepper.
8
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook gently for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavours to meld.

9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and peppercorns as needed, then serve hot in bowls with the broth, ensuring each portion has fish, prawns, and vegetables.
