Gesmoorde vis

Gesmoorde vis is a traditional dish originating from South Africa. It's usually made with a combination of salt cod, potatoes, tomatoes, hot peppers, sugar, onions, garlic, and oil. The cod is soaked, drained, rinsed, and cut into pieces. The potatoes are boiled, peeled, and cut into cubes. The tomatoes are blanched, peeled, and cut into rounds, while the onions are sautéed in oil until soft. The tomatoes, garlic, sugar, and hot peppers are added to the pan and cooked until most of the liquid has evaporated. Cod and potatoes are stirred in, and the dish is simmered until fully cooked. Gesmoorde vis is often accompanied by rice on the side, and it's garnished with lemon wedges and parsley. If salt cod is unavailable, it's acceptable to use hake or haddock.
