What it is
A flavorful fish dish, where a white fish fillet (like snapper or cod) is simmered in a rich Cuban-adapted Veracruzana sauce. The sauce is made with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, green olives, capers, and herbs, cooked in olive oil.
Key ingredients
White fish fillet, ripe tomatoes, bell peppers, yellow onion, garlic, green olives, capers, olive oil, cilantro, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper.
If you order it anyway
Request the dish to be prepared without any added sugar in the sauce. Ensure no high-carb sides such as rice, plantains, or potatoes are served.
Watch out for
Potential hidden sugars in tomato paste or pre-made tomato sauces. Olives and capers can contain trace carbs. Always confirm no starch-based thickeners in the sauce.
