Additional information : Tips
Fresh sweet red peppers are expensive during winter so substitute the bottled variety; less pricey roasted sweet red peppers are available whole, chopped or sliced. Just measure and pop into the blender.

Use white fish such as catfish, tilapia or sole, which are available at supermarkets.
