Aromatic Belizean Roasted Fish Dumplings

Assemble the ingredients: fish, bell pepper, lemon juice, garlic, stock, cumin, tomato.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until roasted.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Belizean flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Belizean accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
