Preparation steps

1.
For the vegetable stew, heat the oil and fry the onion for a few minutes.
2.
Add the potatoes and cook for a couple of minutes. Pour in the sun dried tomatoes, canned tomatoes and hot vegetable stock. Season with salt and ground black pepper and simmer for 15 minutes.
3.
Add the bell pepper and courgette and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, for the pan-fried fish fillet, season the flesh side of the fish with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Serve the fish on top of the vegetable stew and garnish with chopped chives, to serve.
