This recipe can be prepared with either fresh or dried fish. Although the dish has long been a part of traditional Mozambican cuisine, the mango was introduced to Africa from India. The dried mango slices can be found in many health food stores.

2 large onions, chopped
2 teaspoons crushed hot red peppers

Butter a 2-quart casserole and layer the fish fillets on the bottom. Top with the chopped tomatoes, onions, red peppers, salt, and dried mango. Add 1 cup water, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.
