Simmer onion, garlic, okra and the whole pepper in water 10 minutes.
Slip in the fish with lemon juice and palm oil; poach gently 12 minutes.
π‘ Gently means gently β caldou fish should flake, not fray.
Cook the rice separately while the broth finishes.
Serve fish and broth over the rice with extra lemon. Light, bright, done.
Caldou is what Casamance cooks when thieboudienne feels like too much: fresh fish simmered briefly with lemon, onion and a little palm oil, served clear over rice. Proof the cuisine has a quiet register too.
