SPICED FISH FILLETS AND BELL PEPPERS

 




INGREDIENTS serves 4

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil            

  • 1 large onions, sliced  

  • 1 can chopped tomatoes        

  • 60ml vegetable stock or water 

  • 1 green bell pepper, cored, deseeded and sliced into strips

  • 1 red bell pepper, cored, deseeded and sliced into strips     

  • 1 small carrot, peeled and sliced        

  • 60g celery, finely chopped     

  • 10g finely chopped fresh coriander and more to serve 

  • 1 ½ teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon caster sugar         

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper 

  • 4 sea bream fillets      

  • 50g crumbled feta cheese

METHOD

 • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion slices, cover the pan and leave to cook for about 10 minutes or until they are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally.

• Add all the remaining ingredients, except the sea bream fillets and feta. Bring to the boil over a high heat, then re-cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 30 minutes or until you have a fragrant sauce.

• Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Once the sauce is ready, it’s time to cook your sea bream fillets. Don’t forget that the sauce needs to be warm in order to cook the fish, so if you have prepared the sauce in advance and it’s cold then reheat it before adding the fish.

• Arrange the fillets skin side-up in the pan, cover with a lid and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until the fish is just cooked. Sprinkle with feta and chopped coriander and serve immediately with bread, couscous or rice.
