Ingredients
1 | Whole snapper, or 6 hapuku steaks (Main) |
2 | Onions, sliced in rounds |
2 | Green pepper, sliced in rounds |
6 cloves | Garlic, sliced |
2 | Lemons, scrubbed and sliced thinly |
1 handful | Flat leaf (Italian) parsley, including stalks |
1 handful | Dill, including stalks |
4 | Tomatoes, sliced in rounds |
18 | Black olive |
100 ml | Extra virgin olive oil |
100 ml | White wine |
Directions
- Heat oven to 190C. Lay the fish in an oiled roasting dish.
- Layer the onions, green peppers, garlic, lemons, parsley and dill, tomatoes and black olives over the fish (in that order), sprinkling with salt and fresh black pepper as you go.
- Pour over the oil and wine, cover with foil, bring up to heat on stove top then place in the oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 10 minutes, keeping an eye on it — the vegetables should be starting to caramelise, but not burn.
