CHILLO AL COCO
The best combination between the sea and fruit of coconut palms
When you try coconut Chillo your taste buds react to the perfect and beautiful harmony of this tropical recipe. How could I live so long without having tasted this wonder before? Perfect for those days of leisure on the white sandy beaches of the Caribbean Sea, in midday naps under a palm tree and "exotic" cocktails at sunset.
A rather emblematic dish with a sophisticated look, despite the simplicity of its preparation and the humility of its ingredients. Preparing this fish in coconut milk Dominican style is a delight that brings the beautiful province of Samana to you.
A mixture of fresh ingredients, aromatic herbs, fish, and creamy coconut milk end up resulting in a soft fish, so much that it melts in the mouth, drowned in a rich sauce that transports you to one of the most beautiful beaches of the Dominican Republic.
