Provençal-Style Basa With Black Olive Tapenade And Mash
'Piquant', or pleasantly sharp, are the only words for this baked fish's bold tapenade and 'piperade' tomato sauce. Savoury, simple and distinctly South of France, this plate wouldn't be complete without a forkful of creamy, buttery mash with every bite. Under 600 calories.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then boil a full kettle
Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into bite-sized chunks
Peel and finely dice your red onion[s] and chop your tomato[es] roughly
Peel and chop (or grate) your garlic
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a generous drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the diced onion with a generous pinch of salt and cook for 4 min or until soft
Meanwhile, peel your potatoes and chop them into large, bite-sized pieces
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender
Once done, drain and return to the pot to steam dry
While the potatoes are cooking, roughly chop your black olives
When the onion has softened, add the chopped pepper, chopped tomatoes and half the chopped garlic (you'll use the rest later!) and cook for 3-4 min
Add your tomato paste and a pinch of sugar, salt and pepper with 200ml [300ml] [400ml] boiled water to the pan and cook, covered, for 15 min or until reduced to a stew-like consistency – this is your Provençal-style sauce
Grind the chopped black olives, remaining chopped garlic and a pinch of salt in a pestle & mortar to form a smooth paste (alternatively, use a food processor)
Add a generous drizzle of olive oil and give it a good mix up – this is your black olive tapenade
Add your basa fillet[s] to a tin foil-lined tray (or two!)
Divide and spread the black olive tapenade over the basa fillet[s]
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 12-15 min or until the basa is cooked through – this is your tapenade baked basa
Tip: Your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily
Return the drained potatoes to a low heat and add a splash of olive oil and a knob of butter
Season with salt and pepper and mash until smooth
Serve the tapenade baked basa with the mash and Provençal-style sauce to the side
Add a generous grind of black pepper
Enjoy!
