Everyone has to have an Italian friend. Not only they are so warm hearted, typical Mediterranean people but their cuisine never cease to surprise you. You just left to keep thinking why on earth I never think of that. Simplicity is the key, as they say less is more. Only few ingredients and there you go, light and delicious dish that make you say "Mamma Mia". I have to thank to my friend Lella and her gorgeous mother Nonna Maria (as children call her, not that she looks like a nonna ) for that utterly delicious and easy recipe.
You will need a white fish fillet, cleaned, 1 per person, haddock or cod works well
Chopped tomato, 1 tin is enough for 4 person serving ( I used sugocosa)
few garlic, crashed, some water,( I used less than a glass), salt, olive oil and parsley
Put fish in a pan and cover with chopped tomato, add some water, crash few gloves (depends on your test, I like to use more than a few garlic to be honest) of garlic and add to the fish and tomato, add some salt, sea salt works better, dash of olive oil, extra virgin of course, and finely chopped parsley, a good handful. That's all really, and cook it on medium heat for 20-25 minutes till tomatoes soften and their juice reduced.Best to serve is with nice crusty fresh bread and ice cold chardonnay. I like to put some chili on my plate as I cant put it while I am cooking because my son can't eat it. This dish is ideal on a hot summer day as you can prepare it in less than 10 minute and very little cooking required, we reached to 32 on London last week and this was a life saver. Also very nutritious for children, 3 veg and a fish in one plate, what else you can ask?????
