Directions

  1. In a large casserole dish placed over heat, arrange the sliced apples at the bottom. Top with the bell peppers, garlic, and chili peppers. Season with salt. Place the fish on top, sprinkle with paprika and salt, and then add the tomatoes and cilantro. ≈ 2 min
  2. Pour the water around the edges. Then, pour oil over the top and season generously. ≈ 2 min
  3. Place the casserole dish over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the fish is cooked through. Check after 20 minutes: if there is too much liquid, remove the lid for the remaining cooking time.
  4. Serve hot or warm, with challah bread. ≈ 2 min
