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.

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.

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
-
Ditto! But I couldn't do it now :'(

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.
