Every time I prepare it, I remember her warmth and hospitality. Total preparation time: 1 hour Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 30-35 minutes Number of servings: 4 Ingredients: - 3 fish fillets (I recommend using pikeperch or any white fish of your choice) - 720 ml of bell peppers in broth sauce (you can use canned or homemade bell peppers) - 2 large onions - 4-5 medium carrots - 200 g olives (green or black, according to preference) - 50 ml olive oil (or sunflower oil, according to preference) - Salt and pepper, to taste Step-by-step preparation: 1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by cleaning and washing the onions, then slice them julienne. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices. Make sure you have everything at hand so you don't waste time along the way. 2. Heat the oil: In a large pot, add the oil and heat it over medium heat. It is important for the onion to soften, not to fry, so do not keep the heat too high. 3. Cook the onion: Add the sliced onion to the pot and let it soften for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You will feel its aroma spreading throughout the kitchen. 4. Add the carrots: Once the onion has softened, add the sliced carrots. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. 5. Extend the cooking: After the carrots have started to soften, add the fish fillets cut into finger-thick pieces. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Gently stir to avoid breaking the fillets, but also to allow the fish to absorb the flavors of the vegetables. 6. Add the bell peppers: Put the bell peppers in broth sauce into the pot, mixing everything together. This sauce is the secret of the recipe, providing a rich and flavorful taste. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes. This step is essential for the flavors to combine perfectly. 7. Prepare the baking tray: Place the vegetable and fish mixture in a baking dish. On top, add the olives, which will add a salty and savory note to the dish. 8. Bake the dish: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the dish in the oven and let it bake for 25-30 minutes or until the fish is cooked and the vegetables are tender. You will want to enjoy the enticing aroma that will spread throughout the house. 9. Serve: Once the dish is ready, let it cool slightly, then you can serve it warm or cold, according to preference. It is delicious alongside a fresh salad or with a side of rice. Personal note: I prefer to serve this dish cold, garnished with a few fresh parsley or basil leaves for an extra touch of freshness. It can be an excellent option for a cold buffet or for a picnic. Nutritional benefits: This recipe is rich in protein due to the fish, while the vegetables add essential fiber and vitamins. Olives are a good source of healthy fats, and bell peppers in broth sauce provide antioxidants. It is a balanced and healthy meal! Frequently asked questions: - Can I use another type of fish? Absolutely! This recipe is versatile, and you can use any fish you prefer, from cod to salmon. - Can I add other vegetables? Sure, carrots can be replaced with zucchini or peppers, depending on your preferences. - How can I store leftovers? The dish keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. It can be reheated or eaten cold. Now that you have all the necessary information, all that's left is to grab the ingredients and enjoy a simple dish with a special taste! Enjoy your meal!
