Weeknight Paraguayan Grilled Fish Casserole

Assemble the ingredients: fish, potato, bay leaf, water, tomato, garlic, cinnamon.

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

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Paraguayan 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 Paraguayan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
