Avocado oil has a high smoke point, while vegetable oil is typically less expensive.

plantains

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: potatoes

Sweet potatoes are nutritious and can be used as a substitute for plantains.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: dill

Parsley is a common herb that can substitute cilantro in flavor.

Start by cooking green plantains in a pot with plenty of water and a little salt, covering with a lid.

Clean the fresh fish by removing the fins and insides, making a cut in the belly and pulling out the gills.

Rinse the fish well and season with lime juice, a little cumin, salt, and pepper, and a bit of fresh garlic or garlic paste.

Chop green onions, cilantro, and oregano to taste, reserving some for later.

Once the plantains are tender, add the chopped herbs and fish to the pot.

Cover the pot and let it cook for 7 to 8 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

Add the reserved herbs on top just before finishing and let it simmer for a couple more minutes.

Serve in a deep plate with plenty of broth, ensuring the fish remains intact while serving.
