Pesto Fish Stew Fry the onion and garlic until soft, then add the tomatoes and stock along with 2 tbsp red pesto. Bring to a simmer and cook the fish as left, throwing in a handful torn basil leaves just before serving with crusty French bread.

Milder?

If you prefer your food a little milder, a less spicy curry paste, such as Korma, will work as well.

    Delicious, but depends on the fish you add. Tried it with fresh cod loin which was very expensive although did get four meals from it. Tried it with frozen white fish - not so good, but cheaper. Very good, expensive I think, quick and simple to make.

    So simple to make and a hit for a relaxed "supper" dish. I always add either mixed shell fish or prawns and this just adds to it. Friends couldn't be more impressed with an impromtu meal!

    This dish was delicious and so very easy to make. The first time I made it, the sauce was a little thin. When I made it for a second time, I thickened it a little and everyone enjoyed it more. Best of all, when you are trying to loose weight but still enjoy tasty food, this fits the bill! It's become a favourite Saturday night meal and beats piling on the calories with the usual take away curry.

    This was ok but I don't think you need to add stock. Next time I'll miss that out and add some prawns.

    We all really enjoyed this recipe, even my sons who normally cringe at the idea of fish for dinner! I added a little coconut milk at the end of cooking and thought it went quite well. Would definitely make it again.

    Really tasty- I agree that the sauce was a little thin so will thicken more for next time but great for a low fat tasty dish and very easy

    I didnt add the stock but included prawns, mushrooms and some finely chopped ginger. I then added some fresh roughly chopped coriander just before serving and it went down a real treat. Quick, easy, healthy and even the kids loved it!!

    I've made this twice and guests loved it. Put the fish in right at the end and it stays really tender.

    Have made the pesto version of this a couple of times and it is really quick, easy and tasty for midweek. An ideal way to use up that almost-empty jar of pesto in the fridge!

    I found the combination of stock, curry paste and the fish made the dish very salty. If I was to do it again I would add more/different fish to add more flavour as the fish was lost in the spices.

    I made the alternative Mediterranean version of this and it was excellent! I used some coley and some "white fish" so it was extremely economical too.
