4 pieces cod loin about 180g each
2 red onions finely sliced
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 sprig thyme
1 tbsp sugar
1 pinch saffron
1 good pinch of cumin
1 lemon, juice only
1 red pepper finely shredded
1 yellow pepper finely shredded
3 basil leaves roughly torn
1 cup olive oil
1 splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar

1
Heat some olive oil in a pan and add the garlic, onions and thyme and cook gently for 10-15 minutes without colouring.
2
Then add the tomato paste and the sugar and gently cook, add the peppers and gently cook for a further 30-35 minutes until softened and the whole mixture is really stewed down.
3
Add the saffron and cumin and continue to cook down, and then add a good splash of red wine vinegar to balance the sweetness.
4
The pepperonata should be a soft and really cooked down - tasting almost sweet and sour from the natural sweetness of the ingredients and the vinegar.
5
Pre-heat a frying pan and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
6
When the oil is hot, season the fish then place in the pan until golden on one side.
7
This will only take 4-5 minutes.
8
Turn the fish over then place the whole pan in the oven which is pre-heated to 240C to finish the cooking for a further 4-5 minutes.
9
Warm the pepperonata and stir in a few basil leaves and a little squeeze of lemon.
10
Season and serve with or alongside the fish.
