- carrots - 3 carrots (three carrots, chopped large)

- squash - 2 squash (two squash, chopped)
- chayote - 1 chayote (one chayote, chopped)
- tomatoes - 4 tomatoes (four tomatoes, chopped and blended)
- onion - 0.5 onion (half an onion, chopped)
- garlic cloves - 3 cloves (three cloves, added to blender)
- salt - to taste (to taste, added during cooking)
- oil - watch the video to see (for browning chilies and fish)
- water - watch the video to see (to blend with tomatoes and cook broth)
Instructions
- Brown the Perone Chilies: Heat oil in a casserole and brown the two Perone chilies. Remove chilies once browned.
- Prepare and Cook Vegetables: Chop carrots, potatoes, squash, and chayote into large pieces. Add them to the casserole with a little salt and cook until well done.
- Prepare Tomato Blend: Chop the four tomatoes into smaller pieces to help blend. Blend tomatoes with three garlic cloves, half an onion, a little salt, and some water until smooth.
- Cook Tomato Broth: Pour the blended tomato mixture into the casserole with the cooked vegetables. Bring to a boil and let the vegetables cook further in the broth.
- Brown the Fish: In a separate casserole, heat oil until very hot. Season the fish with salt and brown them in the hot oil.
- Combine Fish and Broth: Add the browned fish to the vegetable broth. Add the browned Perone chilies and a handful of cilantro. Let the broth simmer gently for a short time to blend flavors without breaking the fish apart.
- Serve: Let the broth cool slightly. Serve the fish first, then the vegetables, being careful not to break the fish. Enjoy the flavorful ranch-style fish broth.
