Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 hake filets (about 500 g)
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned, 150 g.
- 1 yellow bell pepper, julienned, 150 g.
- 1 onion, thinly sliced, 100 g.
- 2 tomatoes, diced, 300 g.
- ½ cup green olives
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
- Pat dry the hake filets with paper towels. Season each filet with crushed garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
- In the skillet, add a teaspoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions, cook until softened. Add the julienned red and yellow bell peppers, and diced tomatoes. Stir well.
- Incorporate the green olives, one cup of water and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Gently nestle the marinated hake filets into the Veracruzana sauce. Spoon the sauce over the filets, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. The sauce should thicken slightly.
- Carefully transfer the Veracruz-Style Fish onto individual plates. Spoon the flavorful sauce over each filet. Garnish with additional olives and fresh herbs if desired. Serve the Veracruz-Style Fish with a side of cauliflower rice or tortillas for an authentic experience.
