hello everyone is Lola here again I hope
you all are doing well so today I'm
going to be showing you how I make my
easy but delicious codfish stew so let's
get started I'm going to start by
cleaning up my peppers tomatoes onions
and garlic and I'm going to wash them
thoroughly and cut them into chunks so
that the blending process can be made
easier for my blender so while we are
doing that I just want to tell you why I
kind of like this catfish to you this
Gio is a stew of my childhood and
growing up every Sunday after church my
parents will drive down to the fish or
chicken market and we either get a fresh
catfish or the fresh chicken and we
usually use these to make either the
catfish to you or the chickens to you so
each time I'm making this to you it
brings back a lot of good memories for
me and I don't think I can ever forget
these sweet memories so well back to our
cooking once the paper is well blended
I'll just point inside the bowl and I'm
going to be setting it aside the next
thing to do is just get some oil
preheated in my pan and once the oil is
hot I'm going to be throwing in my diced
onions and I'm going to stir fry this
over medium heat also the onions become
translucent
it's now time to add the thyme the
ginger and the tomato paste I'm going to
be mixing this tomato paste around a
little bit so that it's one standard in
the oil if it's too thick feel free to
add a splash of water and I'm just going
to leave this to fry for about three
minutes or thereabouts and this is going
to remove that sides is that usually
comes along with a paste you get to
notice that the tomato paste is coming
together in little clusters and that
we're will to know it's well done so
it's now time to add our blended papers
I'm just going to give that a quick mix
then I'll cover it up and I'll leave it
to come to a boil so while these two is
boiling I'm going to be prepping my
catfish so when I went to buy my cut
fish at my fish store I requested that
the fish butcher help me clean it up
and it did a pretty good job doing that
if your fish butcher doesn't offer that
service it's very easy to clean it up
just use some salt to kind of scrub the
skin you can also use a long just use it
to wash down the skin this laminates of
the fishes will to come out straight
away but for an extra step I like to put
it inside a hot boiling water now this
boiling water is not just way to remove
the jet it's also going to make the fish
compact so that by the time you are
ready to cook its immersed you
everything is not just going to scatter
so after leaving the fish in the water
for about three to five minutes I'll
take everything out and I'll give it a
rinse inside a portal in water then I'll
be setting it aside
so now let's go back to this tube as you
can see this too is well world and it's
reduced at this point I'm just going to
season it with some salt curry powder
black pepper paprika and some seasoning
powder and I'm also going to add some
chicken broth to loosen it up a little
bit the next thing to do is just to drop
my catfish one at a time inside this
tube as you can see I'm kind of very
careful dropping this it's pretty soft
you don't want everything to get
scattered inside this team
while staring lists you again I'm not
staring vigorously like I would do if
I'm making chicken stew or beef stew you
you just use your cooking spoons to kind
of go around this to you a little bit
and that is enough now I'm just going to
cover this up and I'll leave the fish to
cook inside this chill for about ten
minutes or a little more or less
depending on how big or how small your
catfish is so that is it guys this to
you is very easy to put together and
it's very delicious the only thing I
really don't like about this to you is
just that whenever we make it it doesn't
stay too long before everything
disappears and that kind of bothers me a
little bit but you know it is what it is
so I'm serving this today with some
boiled white rice however this goes
pretty well with a variety of food like
pasta
couscous quinoa you can even serve this
and use it as a dip for your bread it's
very versatile and I'm pretty sure you
are going to enjoy it as much as we do
so that is it again for today and as
usual all the links to the detailed
recipe

Yummy, well done Aunty Lola. Asides from eating it with rice, I love it with amala and abula (ewedu+gbegiri) soup, it tastes heavenly
Wow! You sure know how to enjoy life! ❤️
@@cheflolaskitchen my sister, life is too short not to be enjoyed
@@ajeigbeesther8955 True talk. Enjoy! ☆♬○♩●♪✧♩
Yum yum
Super. Thanks I'll try dis today
I will be happy to know the outcome :)
@@cheflolaskitchen omw! It's so nice eeee, eating and typing and I just stained my phone with the Pepe. Lol. Thanks sis. But I couldn't get paprika here at all so it wasn't added.
This looks really delicious can I use any other fish for the stew
Came out very well and looks delicious. The only thing i'd change is tomato paste. For some reason i hate the taste. I dont even use it in any of my tomatoe base stews. I dont even use it in Jollof rice, i just use very red bell pepper. God Bless.
I know what you mean Ola. I know some people who don’t use it as well. I also use a minimal amount just to add a bit more texture to the stew...as long as the stew is tasty who cares anyways 🤷♀️.
WOW This looks like a creole dish I grew up eating called cubion (spelling) it’s crazy the amount of influence African cuisine has on southern dishes.
You right it finish quick because its too sweet
Looks sooo delicious. I will try it this weekend. Is there a particular curry powder that you use? There are so many different types.
Looks delicious, in Louisiana we call this catfish couvillion ( court bullion)
i will be making this
Yummy yummy
Thank you 😋
I like this recipe better 😍
Yum-o
Delicious
Thank you Betty :)
Nice one Chef Lola, but what do you mean by it doesn't stay too long before it disappear?
Looks yummy, where did you get the blender from?
It’s a Ninja blender. Stores like Walmart and Target carries it. You can also find it on Amazon or ebay.
Oh wowww!
Ms.Lola..your dish looks so delicious...🔥😋
I want a bowl of it so bad..🤤
I want to try this..can I use halibut or another type of fish?
I dont eat catfish.
Thank you beautiful lady Lola.🔥.peace, love and blessings..🖤
QUEEN'IKnoWhoIam you can use tilapia or croaker, if you like those. Mackerel too.
@@ncegbu
👍🏾Ok, that sounds great!
...dont like talapia tho..😝
Can I make this with any fish
Thank you for the video💕 I am heading to the kitchen to prepare this in a similar way for dinner. It's my first time to try to taste catfish 😳😳😳 ,a small voice is however advising me in whispers not to 🤔🤔🤔.
i love your video, i'm curious as to why you boiled the fish first before you add it to the stew? i normally add it to the stew when the stew starts to cook but i notice it gets watery. scared to do your style cos then the catfish will be too soft and scatter all over but yours stayed intact. what step am i missing? would appreciate a prompt reply cos my family wants this for thanksgiving and i want to get really prepared.
Hi Lamide, I really did not boil the fish. I only put them in hot water to make them a bit firm. That helps to prevent the fish from scattering inside the stew. Also, once you put the fish inside the stew, it's advisable not to stir it vigorously. I hope this helps?
Chef Lola's Kitchen yes. I tried your procedure and it worked. The carfish stayed intact n not one of them scattered. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Was that actual catfish, or some other fish that is familiarly known as "catfish?" The recipe looks great, and you make it so well. I will try this very soon.
@Tina Nnaji it's catfish steak cut not filet.
All thats missing is some salad and a cold drink
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
thnk u
You are welcome!
Hello thankyou i wanted to ask does this Cat Fish have lots of bones ? Your recie is delicious
Yes, it does have bonesss 😀
Looks super yummy....I have a whole catfish in freezer. Will try soon. Where is recipe.
I have it. Thank you Ms. Lola.❤
I will be glad to know how well you like it :)
Can I use Salmon fish steaks in this stew.
Looks delicious.
Yes you can
I do this too, but omit the tomatoes 🍅😅
Use riced cauliflower for a great keto recipe.
My husband loves catfish but I don't know how to prepare it .I didn't even know that u first porch it in hot water
Roested corndough
Pls help me, the last time I tried catfish made at home even tho it was seasoned properly for 2hours even with pepper and other spices, I had this fishy smell that I wanted to throw up. I want to make this stew ………will the boiling take that smell away or any technique???

Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four

Do you watch Blackbright
Why use your hand to touch the fish at the end Mama
