Start by preparing the pickled vegetables: grate a carrot and chop red cabbage.

Add 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and salt to the vegetables and let them ferment for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot.

Coat the tilapia with a little flour.

Fry the tilapia in the hot oil, ensuring the heat is not too high to cook it through without burning.

While the tilapia is cooking, peel and prepare the green plantains.

Slice the plantains and fry them in the same oil until golden brown and crispy.

Once the plantains are golden, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the pickled vegetables for serving.

Serve the fried tilapia with the fried plantains, and add the pickled vegetables on top.

Squeeze lime over the fish before serving.
