Picua Stew with Rice (Eng/Esp)
English version
Today's lunch was stewed picua, a fish that's perfect for flaking; its flesh is white, juicy, and delicious, so it pairs perfectly with seasonings. I served it with white rice with carrots—I love this combination because the rice grains take on a very pleasant natural sweetness.
Ingredients:
- 3 picuas (fish)
- 2 onions
- 7 sweet peppers
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 carrot
- Salt to taste
- Oil
Procedure:
I gutted the fish and cut each one into three large fillets, cleaned them, and placed them in two liters of water to parboil. I also added a tablespoon of salt. The fish was cooked in ten minutes. I let them cool, removed the bones, and flaked the flesh.
Meanwhile, I washed the herbs, removed the seeds from the chili peppers and bell peppers, and cut them into small pieces. Then I peeled the outer layers of the onions and chopped them in the same way.
Next, I sautéed the seasonings in a skillet, and once they had softened, I added the flaked fish.
Then, in a separate pot, I sautéed the rice in a little oil, added the grated carrot, stirred well, and added two and a half cups of water and a pinch of salt.
In about fifteen minutes, everything was ready; the flaked and stewed picúa is delicious, especially when paired with flavorful white rice. This dish was a real treat for my senses.

El almuerzo de hoy fue picúa guisada, un pescado ideal para desmenuzar, su carne es blanca, jugosa y deliciosa, así que es perfecto para combinarlo con aliños. Acompañé con arroz blanco con zanahoria, me encanta esta opción porque los granos adquieren un dulzor natural muy agradable.
Ingredientes:
- 3 picúas (pescados)
- 2 cebollas
- 7 ajíes dulces
- 2 pimentones
- 1 zanahoria
- Sal al gusto
- Aceite
Procedimiento:
Extraje las vísceras de los pescados y los dividí en tres grandes ruedas cada uno, los limpié y los coloqué con dos litros de agua a sancochar. También agregué una cucharada de sal. En diez minutos la carne estuvo cocida. Esperé que enfriaran, retiré las espinas y desmenucé.
Por otro lado, lavé los aliños, extraje las semillas de los ajíes y pimentones, dividí en pedazos pequeños. Luego retiré las primeras capas de las cebollas y piqué de la misma forma.
Después en un sartén sofreí los aliños y cuando ablandaron agregué el pescado desmenuzado.
Posteriormente, en una olla aparte, coloqué el arroz con un poco de aceite a sofreir, luego agregué la zanahoria previamente rallada, removí muy bien y adicioné dos tazas y media de agua y una medida de sal.
En unos quince minutos todo estaba listo, la picúa desmenuzada y guisada es deliciosa y más cuando se combina con arroz blanco saborizado. Le di un gran gusto a mis sentidos con este plato.
