Ingredients you'll need
  • 500g potatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 garlic clove
  • A handful of flat leaf parsley
  • 80g black olives
  • 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 2 haddock fillets
From your kitchen
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 200ml cold water
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Heat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Scrub the potatoes and slice them into chips around 1cm thick. Pop them in a bowl and toss them with ½ tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Spread out the chips on the tray. Bake for 35 mins till golden.

  • 2.

    While the chips cook, peel and finely chop the red onion. Halve the pepper. Scoop out the seeds and white bits. Finely chop it.

  • 3.

    Warm a deep frying pan over a medium heat for 1 min. Add ½ tbsp olive oil, the onion and pepper. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, till they start to soften.

  • 4.

    While the veg cook, peel and crush the garlic. Finely chop the stalks from the parsley sprigs (keep the leaves for later). Roughly chop the olives.

  • 5.

    Stir the garlic, parsley stalks and olives into the frying pan. Pour in the tomatoes. Half fill the tomato tin with water (around 200ml) and add to the pan. Cover, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 15 mins to mingle the flavours and start the sauce thickening.

  • 6.

    After the sauce has simmered for 15 mins, add the haddock fillets to the pan. Cover and cook for 5-8 mins till the haddock is white, opaque and flakes easily when you press it with a fork.

  • 7.

    Roughly chop the parsley leaves. Serve the haddock with the tomato sauce and the frites, garnished with the chopped parsley.
