Steamed Fish (Balık Buğulaması)

Serves 4 – 5

Ingredients
1 kg of small fish, such as red mullets, sardines, or anchovies
2 tbs butter
1 tbs olive oil
1 medium size of onion, finely chopped
2 cubanelle pepper, thin sliced
2 cloves of garlic
2 tomatoes, peeled and diced
200 ml of hot water
1 stem of spring onion, slice crosswise
½ tsp of red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon, slice crosswise
A bunch of parsley (a handful, or probably about 2-3 tablespoons.), finely chopped


How To Cook
Melt butter in a skillet then add in the olive oil. Saute the onion in the same skillet over low-medium heat until half tender. Add in the cubanelle pepper and garlic, stir them constantly about 2 – 3 minutes. Then add in the diced tomatoes, mix well. Pour in the hot water, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and spring onion, stir and cook for about 2 minutes or until it boiled and then turn the heat off.
Pour half of the mixture above into a stewpot. Add in half of the parsley all over it. Arrange the fish in the stewpot. If necessary, add in salt and pepper to taste. Put the lemon over the fish and then add in the rest of the parsley and onion mixture. Cover the lit and let cook on medium heat for about 7 – 10 minutes.
