Authentic Beninese Slow-Cooked Fish Skillet

Assemble the ingredients: fish, parsley, bell pepper, garlic, flour, turmeric, cumin.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until slow-cooked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Beninese flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Beninese accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
