Blaff

Directions

Place fish in a glass of china dish.

In another bowl, combine 2 cups of water, the lime juice, 1½ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon scallions.

Pour the marinade over the fish, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Drain the fish and discard the marinade. Place the remaining scallions, garlic, chili peppers, and parsley into a heavy pot (preferable cast iron).

With a wooden spoon, mash the mixture to extract the juices.

Add the remaining 3 cups of water, allspice berries, and thyme.

Cover the pot and place on high heat.

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Add remaining ½ teaspoon salt and the fish to the broth.

Cover and bring to boil again.

Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

With a slotted spoon, transfer the fish onto heated dinner plates.

Boil the liquid on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes and spoon over the fish.

Garnish with lime quarters.
