Tilapia Poached in Tomato Sauce with Olives and Capers

 Yes, that's a mouthful, but it's serious comfort food. Of course, I like to serve it with fresh mamaliga (cornmeal mush). So, so delicious! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

-2 garlic cloves, minced

-1 Tbs capers, rinsed

-1 tsp lemon zest

-3/4 cup red cooking wine

-1 lb Roma tomatoes, roughly chopped

-1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

-1/4 tsp salt

-1/4 tsp pepper

-4-5 tilapia fillets

-chopped parsley

Directions:

Heat oil in large skillet. Add the garlic, capers, and zest. Give it a good stir and cook for 30 seconds. 

Add the wine and simmer for a couple of minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, olives, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Nestle the tilapia fillets in the sauce and cook for about 5 minutes. Cover and continue cooking for another 3 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. 

Serve immediately on top of mamaliga, with a sprinkle of chopped parsley. YUM! Enjoy!
