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.
