Here's a recipe for Grenadian Fish Broth:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb fresh fish fillets (such as snapper, grouper, or mahi-mahi), cut into chunks
• 6 cups fish or vegetable broth
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 1 scotch bonnet pepper (optional, for heat)
• 2 sprigs thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Juice of 1 lime or lemon
• Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

2- Stir in diced bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.

3- Add diced tomatoes, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, paprika, and ground allspice to the pot. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.

4- Pour in the fish or vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

5- Carefully add the fish chunks to the simmering broth. If using scotch bonnet pepper for heat, add it whole to the pot. Allow the fish to cook gently in the broth for about 5-7 minutes, until it is opaque and cooked through.

6- Once the fish is cooked, remove the scotch bonnet pepper (if using) and thyme sprigs from the broth. Season the broth with salt, pepper, and lime or lemon juice to taste.

7- Ladle the hot Grenadian Fish Broth into serving bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.

8- Serve hot with slices of crusty bread or rice on the side. Enjoy the light and flavorful taste of this Caribbean delight!
