- 2 small onions
- 2 carrots
- 1 cup rice
- Salt and seasoning to taste
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F).
On the stovetop, heat a baking dish or large pan and sauté finely chopped onions and grated carrots in a little oil. Add salt and seasoning to taste, and gradually add water to prevent sticking.
Mix in grated potatoes with the sautéed vegetables and let everything simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice and pour in hot water to cover the mixture completely.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes.
Lightly salt the catfish fillets and place them on top of the baked potato and rice mixture. Reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Serve the dish hot.
