COURSE 2

Italian Baked Fish

Serves 4

Ingredients
4 thick pieces cod (or other white fish)


2 tablespoons olive oil


1 medium onion, finely chopped


1 fat clove garlic, crushed


1 lb (450 g) ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped, or 1 x 14 oz (400 g) tin Italian tomatoes


4 oz (110 g) mushrooms, thinly sliced


1 level tablespoon fresh chopped basil


1 level tablespoon capers, chopped


juice ½ lemon


12 black olives


salt and freshly milled black pepper


Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5, 375°F (190°C).


Start by making a good thick tomato sauce: heat the olive oil in a saucepan and fry the onion for about 5 minutes. Now add the garlic and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then bring to simmering point and cook gently, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add the sliced mushrooms, making sure that they are well stirred in. Simmer for a further 10 minutes until it looks like a thick sauce. Lastly, stir in the fresh basil and chopped capers.

Now place the fish in a shallow baking dish or tin, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle a little lemon juice on each piece. Next spoon an equal quantity of the sauce on to each piece of fish and arrange a few olives on top. Cover the dish with foil and bake on a high shelf for about 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve with new potatoes or brown rice and a tossed green salad.
