Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp of fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- 300 g capsicums or small sweet peppers, thinly sliced – use a mix of colours if you have them
- 1/2 cup wine – white or red
- 700-800 g jar passata
- 4 tarakihi fillets or other firm-fleshed fish
- salt and pepper
- handful black olives
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, coarsely chopped, to serve
Method
- 1Preheat the oven to 220°C. Combine the thyme, oil, garlic and paprika in a small bowl.
- 2Place sliced peppers in a shallow roasting pan, pour on the oil mixture and toss. Bake 10-15 minutes or until starting to colour around the edges.
