Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tilapia Fish
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 tbsp. Ginger
  • 1 tsp. Curry powder
  • 1 tbsp. Stock powder
  • 1 tbsp. Garlic
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 3 Scotch Bonnet
  • 1 Onion
  • Vegetable Oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the African spice blend, garlic and ginger paste, fresh rosemary, Scotch bonnet pepper, curry, salt, and stock powder to create a flavorful marinade
  • Marinate the Tilapia: Coat the tilapia fish thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or longer for enhanced flavor).
  • Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the Tilapia: Place the marinated tilapia fish on the grill and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
  • Prepare the Sauce: While the tilapia is grilling, prepare the African-inspired sauce of your choice. This can be a spicy pepper sauce for some heat or a tomato-based sauce for a milder flavor.
  • Serve: Once the tilapia is cooked to perfection, remove it from the grill. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot, accompanied by the African-inspired sauce.
