Ingredients

  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 red onion, peeled and sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled & finely sliced
  • 150mL water
  • 2 tsp apple-cider vinegar
  • 500g chopped fresh or BPA-free tinned tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 pinch chilli flakes
  • 800g fresh firm white fish fillets, cut into 3cm chunks
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, leaves and stalks
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, leaves and stalks
  • Sea salt & black pepper, to taste
  • Steamed potatoes or rice & fresh leafy greens, to serve

Method


  • Heat olive oil in saucepan on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and fry for 2–3 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • Pour in water and apple-cider vinegar to soften onion, then add tomatoes and cook on high to reduce for 2–3 minutes.
  • Stir through cumin, paprika and chilli.
  • Add fish pieces, cover and cook for 5–6 minutes or until fish is well cooked through, turning once throughout so fish cooks evenly but doesn’t break.
  • Serve sprinkled with fresh parsley and coriander and your choice of sides.
