Ingredients

Stew Base:

• 1 onion diced
• 1 red bell pepper sliced
• 5 cloves garlic minced
• 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 8 ounces seafood or fish broth
• 6 ounces canned full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne (mild to moderate spiciness)

For Finishing:

• 1 1/2 pounds firm white fish like cod or halibut
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions

1. Add all stew base ingredients to the pressure cooker pot, and stir until well-mixed.
2. Secure and seal the lid. Cook for 10 minutes at high pressure, followed by a 10 minute natural release. Manually release remaining pressure.
3. Uncover and turn on the saute mode on the pressure cooker for medium heat. Let the stew boil for 10 minutes to thicken the sauce, stirring frequently. While waiting for the stew to thicken, proceed to the next step to prepare the fish.
4. Remove any skin and bones from the fish, and pat dry with paper towels if moist. Cut into 1 inch pieces.
5. When the stew has thickened, stir in fish until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
6. Turn off the saute mode. Stir in coconut oil and lime juice until combined. Serve in bowls, and top with chopped cilantro or parsley.
