Sample Recipe from A Lazy Cooks Summer

Mediterranean Fish Pie - to serve 4-6

4 slices of medium sliced bread - break into pieces
100gms (4oz) pancetta (bacon) - cut up
8-10 anchovy fillets preserved in oil
50gms (2oz) black pitted olives
6 sundried tomatoes
1 x 227g tin chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon sundried tomato puree
50ml (2floz) water
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
1-2 cloves garlic - chopped or crushed
freshly ground black pepper
4 mackerel fillets (or any fish fillets of your choice)
freshly chopped parsley - to garnish

Set oven at gas 6 / 450F / 220C / Aga roasting oven

With the exception of the fish and garnish, put all the remaining ingredients into a food processor or liquidiser and process for a few seconds to make a rough paste.

Lightly oil the base of a shallow ovenproof dish and spead the paste over the base, put the fish fillets on the top and bake, uncovered, in the pre-set oven for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is firm to the touch. Scatter with chopped parsley and serve.

Buy the bookLazy Cook tips - if white fish fillets are used, brush with a little oil from the jar of sundried tomatoes before baking. I recommend anchovy fillets preserved in oil and available from the delicatessen and supermarkets by weight.
