Catfish Nuggets in Spicy Tomato Sauce

Catfish in a spicy tomato sauce well that sounds yummy!!! I stumbled upon this online recipe when I was looking for a recipe to incorporate catfish and tomato sauce. The combination of the different spices used in this dish was a flavorful surprise to my taste buds. I double the spices because I was using catfish nuggets and then i put more in to taste. Two thumbs up for that...you can season while you cook!!! I also added some chipotle peppers. I served it over brown rice and sprinkle a little parsley on top. A very nice meal for a Friday night!!!! Quick & Easy To Prepare :-)

Ingredients: I Double the Spices & Put More In to Taste
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes in juice
2 (8 0z) can roasted garlic tomato sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon allspice, I had Jamaican allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon honey
Pinch of Chipotle Chiles Peppers
2 packs of catfish nuggets

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Puree tomatoes with their juices in a blender. Heat olive oil in a skillet over moderate heat until hot. Cook garlic, spices and 3/4 teaspoon salt, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add tomato puree, tomato sauce and honey. Simmer, uncover until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.

I seasoned my catfish nuggets with salt and slightly browned them in a hot pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 1 minute on each side. Try not to cook the catfish. You want them to finish cooking in the sauce. Pour sauce into a baking dish. Add catfish nuggets and baked for 20 minutes. Serve with brown rice and a sprinkle of parsley.

  5. Usually they sell catfish nuggets in the store but if you can't find any; all you need to do is buy some catfish fillets and chopped them into nugget size pieces. Thanks for posting barangay iligan!!!

  6. Spicy alright! Just how I like my food too. Don't see much catfish around these parts but I've gotta try this so I'll have to find a reasonable substitute.
