Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 1 kg (2 1/4 lb.) assorted fish
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) olive oil
- 1 onion
- Parsley
- Garlic
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh tomatoes
- 1 big spoonful of tomato paste
- Vinegar
Method
- Cut the bigger fish into slices, leaving the smaller ones whole. Use 125 ml (1/2 cup) olive oil per kilogram (2 1/4 lb.) of fish.
- Chop the onion, sauté in the oil, then add the fish and fry it a while, adding chopped garlic and parsley. Add some salt and pepper and 1 tsp. tomato paste and, depending on the season, some sliced fresh tomatoes.
- Cover the fish with water and let come to a boil before adding the vinegar. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, letting it simmer over low heat. Do not stir - instead shake the pan gently instead so that the ingredients remain layered in the order they were added.
