Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
  • 1 tablespoon no added salt tomato paste
  • 2 x 400 g cans no added salt diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 420 g can no added salt cannellini beans, drained
  • 2 tablespoons sliced kalamata olives
  • 600 g skinless, boneless, white fish fillets, cut into large pieces
  • 1 slice wholegrain bread, torn into small pieces
  • 50 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley
  • Garden salad, to serve

Method

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, ovenproof, deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add garlic and chilli flakes. Cook, stirring for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add tomato paste. Cook, stirring a further 1 minute.

Step 2

Stir in tomatoes, vinegar and ½ cup water. Bring to the boil. Gently boil for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Stir in beans and olives. Add fish pieces. Spoon the sauce over fish to cover. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until fish is cooked.

Step 3

Toss bread with remaining oil in a bowl. Sprinkle bread and feta over sauce in pan.

Step 4

Meanwhile, preheat oven grill to high. Place pan under hot grill for about 2 minutes, or until bread is golden brown. Transfer pan to a heatproof mat or wooden board. Take care (use oven mitts) as handle will be hot.

Step 5

Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with salad. Customise your salad to make use of whatever salad vegetables you have on hand. We used oakleaf lettuce, avocado and green capsicum.

Tips

  • We used baby ling fillets but any skinless, boneless white fish fillets are suitable for this recipe. Try basa, dory or snapper.
