Serves 4
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
300g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
150g bottled roasted red peppers (packed in brine), drained and chopped
2 tbsp sun-dried tomato paste
A few drops balsamic vinegar,
4 thick slices rustic-style bread, such as ciabatta
4 x 150g skinless cod fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Rocket or salad leaves, to garnish
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan oven 170°C, Gas Mark 5.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the garlic, mushrooms and spring onions, sautéing them over a medium-low heat until very soft, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped peppers and sun-dried tomato paste. Add a few drops of balsamic vinegar and season to taste.
- Spread the pieces of bread with half the mushroom mixture, then arrange them in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Top each one with a cod fillet, then spread the remaining mushroom mixture on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked – the flesh should flake easily when tested with a fork. Serve, garnished with rocket or salad leaves.
