- 400 g tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 60 g olives
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions

- Check fish for bones and portion. Finely chop the onion and garlic, dice the tomatoes.
- Gently sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil for about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
