Ingredients

Sauce

½ cup olive oil
2 ½ pounds onion, peeled and sliced
1 ½ cup water
24 olives, stuffed with pimientos
2 Tbsp capers
1 can (4 ounce) pimientos in their juice, cut in thin slices
2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp Loisa Sal Marina
2 Bay Leaves

Fish

4 pounds fish filets (whitefish i.e. grouper, or similar!)
2 tbsp Loisa Organic Adobo
3 tbsp olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

Directions

Sauce

Prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients and cooking over moderate heat for about 1 hour.

Fish

Season fish with Loisa Adobo
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and garlic. Brown garlic.
Remove garlic and place as many slices of fish as will fit in the pan, without overcrowding the pan.
Brown fish at medium heat on both sides; then reduce heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork. Sear remaining slices in same way.
Place fish on a serving platter and cover with the sauce and serve with mofongo!
