Learn to Prepare Stuffed Tambaqui Fish with Vegetables

The "Clube Rural" program, broadcast on Sunday, February 2nd, featured a recipe for tambaqui fish stuffed with vegetables, presented by gastronomy student Francisca de Sousa. This practical dish uses simple ingredients and is suitable for family lunches or dinners. The recipe involves stuffing a 2 kg tambaqui with fresh vegetables and seasonings to enhance its flavor before baking until tender and juicy. Key ingredients for the stuffing include two large onions, one large bell pepper, a bunch of fresh herbs, two medium carrots, and two English potatoes. The seasoning requires one cup of garlic paste (or six large cloves), one cup of olive oil, the juice of two lemons, two tablespoons of salt, and vinegar for cleaning the fish. Preparation begins with cleaning the fish with vinegar, then marinating it with lemon juice, salt, and garlic paste. The vegetables are thinly sliced and used to stuff the fish. The stuffed fish is placed in an oiled baking dish, drizzled with remaining olive oil, covered with aluminum foil, and baked at 290°C for 50-60 minutes until fully cooked. The dish is then ready to be served.
