STEWED COD AND TOMATOES

SERVES 4

This is another easy, healthy and delicious seafood recipe. It is so good, especially served with orzo or rice to catch the wonderful juices. If you can't find cod, any thick and very firm white-fleshed fish, such as halibut, will be fine.

INGREDIENTS

1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup coarsely chopped green peppers

1-1/4 cups coarsely chopped onions

4 large garlic cloves, minced

2 cans (14.5 ounces each) whole tomatoes, broken apart, with juices

Salt and pepper to taste

1-1/2 pounds cod fillets, or other firm white-fleshed fish, at least 1-inch thick

4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the pan, and heat another minute. Add the green peppers and onions. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook one more minute. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the tomatoes cook down slightly, about 5 minutes. Cut the fish fillets first down the center, then into 3 or 4-inch pieces. Place on top of the tomatoes. Sprinkle with parsley, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the fish is done, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately over the orzo or rice.
