Fish with Tomato Sauce (with photo)
« on: October 31, 2011, 08:48:16 am »
Name of Recipe:  Fish with Tomato sauce - my inspiration for this was farfallina's recipe for Parsley Fish with Potatoes

Number of People:  2

Ingredients:

25g olive oil
50g garlic, peeled
1 stick celery, cut into chunks
200g tomatoes, cut in half
˝ fish stock cube
A little water, if necessary
350g white fish fillets, each cut unto 2 or 3 pieces
French beans, as many as desired
Seasoning
Extra olive oil for drizzling
350g potato, chopped (slightly larger than an Oxo cube)

Preparation:

Put the oil in the jug to heat for 7 minutes / Temp Varoma / Speed 1.
Meanwhile, peel the garlic and when the oil has heated add the garlic and celery to the jug without stopping the machine and increase to Speed 5 for a few seconds until chopped.
Reduce to Speed 1 and allow to sauté for about 7 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and fish stock cube and blitz for 5 seconds / Speed 5.
Add some water if too thick - this depends on the ripeness of the tomatoes
Place the fish and the French beans in Varoma tray, season and drizzle with a little olive oil
Add the potatoes to the Varoma bowl.
Cook for 20 minutes / Temp. Varoma / Speed 1.
Plate up the fish, beans and potato and pour over the sauce.

Photos:  For a larger image, see http://www.flickr.com/photos/34648965@N03/6298190696/in/photostream

Tips/Hints:  The sauce in the photograph looks quite thin. This is because I over estimated the amount of water, plus the tomatoes were rather ripe.

RosieB - Tried this tonight.  My first attempt at doing a complete meal.
It turned out great.  My sauce was a bit runny as I only had liquid fish stock,  but I had enough left to freeze for later.
I used a couple pieces of flake. Potatoes and snake beans were just right.  DH gave it thumbs up.  So far no failures

It looks tasty JB. I still have a couple of bits of fish we caught in the freezer.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Oh, you catch your own fish, well done!  Couldn't do it myself though - too squeamish  :(

I'm fine with it. I grew up on a farm but won't tell you some of the things I did. :D

Fortunately I'm still ok with it.

Glad you liked it.  Also am pleased you added a photo as I had no idea what snake beans but they look like what we call French beans in the UK  :)

Snake beans are very long and a darker olive green.  About 30cms and not as crisp as a french bean.  But they taste great.
I added a bit of our home grown spinach as well.
