Heat the olive oil in a frying pan on a medium heat, add the chopped onions and fry for about 7
minutes until they begin to turn golden brown. Stir frequently to ensure they are evenly cooked. Turn the heat to low and add the remaining ingredients. Cover the pan and cook for 30 minutes. Add water if the sauce becomes dry. |
 |
Gently add the cod fillets to the tomato sauce,
cover it and let it simmer for around 8 minutes until it flakes readily. Turn the heat up to
medium for the last minute Serve immediately on warm plates. We added French beans fried in butter as a vegetable. Boiled new potatoes also goes well. |
