This recipe was a result of indecision on what to cook one
evening. However it turned out so
delicious and is set to become a firm family favourite. It takes about 20
minutes to make.
Ingredients
Quinoa
Stock Cube
Medium Onion
2 Large Cloves of Garlic
4-5 Fillets White Fish
Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
3 heaped tablespoons of drained capers
Cook a pint of quinoa with a stock cube (as per instructions
on the packaging- mine cooked in 12 minutes). Fluff up when ready so it’s not a
lump.
Chop a medium-sized onion and 2 large cloves of garlic.
Sauté onion & garlic on a generous splash of olive oil
on a medium heat. When onion turn
glassy, put in 4-5 fillets of white fish. (I used frozen white fish fillets,
didn’t bother to defrost). Cover and let them slightly fry on both sides. Turn
gently so they don’t fall to bits.
In the meantime, take a can of chopped tomatoes, you can
leave these as they are, or blend it down, like I did. Add 3 heaped tablespoons
of drained capers.
Pour this tomato mixture to the saucepan with the fish. Cover, bring to boil and let it simmer for
another 5 mins (or till fish cooked through). Mill some pepper when serving.
You can serve hot the fish over the quinoa or mix the quinoa
and fish together, breaking up the fish as you stir, then let it cool. It will make a lovely cold lunch, especially
on a hot summer’s day. (I discovered
this as I was putting it away into the fridge and licked the spoon…only to end
up eating half of the left-overs cold.)
Bon appetite! Let me
know how it turns out for you and how you modify it.

Hey, thanks for this recipe. Always looking for ways to dust off and use the quinoa in my cupboard! :)
