Caldeirada De Peixe (Portugal)

1/2 pound fish or shellfish, any kind
1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
8 tomatoes, peeled & chopped
1 green pepper, seeded & chopped
4 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 pinch nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
3 teaspoons piriapiri sauce (recipe follows)
1/2 ounce cilantro, chopped
4 slices of bread with the crusts cut off

Clean the fish and cut into fairly small pieces, removing as many bones as
possible. Sprinkle the salt over the fish and leave while you make the
following sauce. Heat 2a3 Tbsp of the oil in a saucepan and stir in the
onions, tomatoes and pepper. Cook gently until they start to soften, then
put in the garlic, nutmeg, allspice and piriapiri sauce. Add the a little
water. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then remove from the
heat. Lightly oil the bottom of a shallow, ovenproof dish (preferably
earthenware). Put in a layer of fish followed by a layer of sauce and
sprinkle with coriander. Continue with these layers until the ingredients
are used up.
Cover the top of with the bread and sprinkle well with the remaining oil or
dot with a little butter. Cook in a preaheated oven at 350F for about 30
minutes or until the fish is tender. Serve with boiled or sliced and fried
potatoes, bread and a slad to make a substantial main meal.
If you cannot obtain coriander leaves, you can use fresh parsley instead,
but this will alter the flavor of the dish.
