Gambian Catfish Stew (Chewi kong)

Chewi kong is a traditional catfish stew originating from Gambia. The stew is usually made with a combination of catfish, onions, garlic, tomatoes, carrots, cassava, cabbage, oil, tomato paste, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. The catfish is washed with hot water and lime, while the onions and tomatoes are blended and fried with the tomato paste.

Water is poured over the mixture, it's seasoned with salt and pepper, and the dish and vegetables are then stirred into the pot. The stew is simmered for a while, and near the end of cooking, the heat is turned low, and the stew is seasoned with salt and pepper once again.
