Momma's soulatouille

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and add the onion, cumin seeds, chilli pepper, Cajun seasoning, garlic and ginger. The seasonings are added first in order to season the pan.

2. Add the aubergines, okra, and potatoes. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the seasonings and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the aubergines begin to reduce and release their natural juices.

3. Add the tomatoes and tomato puree. At this stage you can add a little water or vegetable stock if you want a wetter version, although the longer you cook the dish the more natural juices will release.

4. Cook for a further 20 minutes or so, continuing to stir. While stirring, add your own love and soul to the dish. You can add your own spin to this dish by adding more vegetables.

5. For the catfish, place the parsley, chilli, onions, lime and mixed spice into a bowl and mix well. Rub the mixture into the fish fillets.

6. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the fish until crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the Soulatouille and some rice and peas.
