1

Clean the fish thoroughly, removing the insides and gills, and soak in water with a bit of lime to eliminate any bad smell.

2

Drain the fish and season it inside and out with consomé, salt, and black pepper.

3

In a pot, heat a bit of oil and margarine, then sauté chopped sweet pepper and onion for about a minute.

4

Add 2 cups of washed precooked rice to the sautéed vegetables and toast for a few minutes.

5

Instead of salt, add consomé de pollo to the rice for flavor.

6

Add 2 cups of beans and 1 can of coconut milk to the rice and mix well.

7

Wait for the mixture to cook down and just before it's done, add chopped cilantro for aroma.

8

Coat the fish in flour without adding anything extra since the fish is already seasoned.

9

Heat oil in a skillet until hot and carefully place the coated fish in the oil to fry.

10

Peel and slice green plantains into thin slices and fry them until golden brown.

11

Once everything is ready, plate the dish and serve with pickled lime.
