Method

  1. 1

    Pat the tilapia fillets dry and rub with a little browning sauce and salt. Leave to sit while you start the sauce.

  2. 2

    Fry the sliced onion in a little oil over a medium heat for 5 minutes until soft, then add the chopped tomatoes, thyme sprigs and the whole scotch bonnet chilli.

  3. 3

    Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes until it thickens slightly, then add the sliced okra and cook for a further 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Nestle the tilapia fillets into the sauce, cover and cook gently for 10-12 minutes until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, cook the rice in plenty of boiling water for 10-12 minutes, then drain. Lift out the scotch bonnet and serve the fish and sauce over the rice.
