Meanwhile, put the flour and 200ml coconut milk in a bowl, and set aside to moisturize the flour (no need to cook, just moisturize, just like Moroccan couscous).

Also take the opportunity to boil the eggs and fry the banana, cut lengthwise into strips, in hot oil.

With the fish ready, prepare a stew with the oil, onion, tomato or pepper, finely chopped. When these ingredients are soft, add the fish and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add to the previous stir-fry the selection of vegetables, the chopped green scent, the straw potatoes, the hydrated flour and the remaining coconut milk, and add the flavor with salt and pepper. Mix everything and turn off the heat.

To finish, mount the pirarucu on a baking sheet, alternating layers of pirarucu farofa with banana slices and sliced ​​hard-boiled eggs, and ending with straw potatoes and eggs. If you prefer, you can also put the separate ingredients on the baking sheet.

When it's time to serve, place the pirarucu casserole in the hot oven for 10 minutes, and bon appetit!
