Peixe com mollo de tomate is Portuguese for Fish with Tomato Sauce. I got this recipe from Grace who lives in Angola (Southwestern Africa). She writes that it’s a similar sauce to what they have in the Philippines called sarciado, which includes eggs.

I liked the simplicity of this recipe – fish, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and tomato paste. After making and eating it, I realized that I’ve tasted this type of sauce many times before in West African cooking. It goes perfectly with white rice.

Since Grace’s recipe doesn’t specify a fish fillet type, I used tilapia fillets. My additions to the recipe included hot sauce (I like spicy food) and a handful of chopped Italian flat parsley (I wanted to see some green).

You can find the receipe here. Thanks, Grace!
