Poached Fish in Spicy Tomato Sauce Recipe

Poached Fish in Spicy Tomato Sauce RecipeA selection of white fish fillets are used in this recipe - cod, haddock, hake, or halibut are all good for this dish. Serve the fish with flat breads, such as pita, and a spicy tomato relish. It is also good with rice and salad greens with a refreshing lemon juice dressing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients: (Serves 8)

2.5 cups fresh tomato sauce

1/2 - 1 teaspoon harissa*

4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1.5 kg/3.3 lb mixed white fish fillets, cut into chunks

 

Method:

 

1. Heat the tomato sauce with the harissa and cilantro in a large pan. Add seasoning to taste and bring to a boil.

 

2. Remove the pan from the heat and add the fish to the hot sauce. Return to the heat and bring the sauce to a boil again. Reduce the heat and simmer very gently for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is tender. (Test with a fork: if the flesh flakes easily, then it is cooked).

 

3. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, adding more harissa if necessary. Serve hot or warm with flat breads.

 

* Harissa is a chili paste spiced with cumin, garlic, and coriander. It is fiery and should be used with care until you are familiar with the flavor. Start by adding a small amount and then add more after tasting the sauce. It is normally available in the Asian stores.
