INGREDIENTE (pentru 2 portii)

• 400 grame merluciu (file)
• 2 ardei copti
• 5 – 6 rosii
• 2 catei de usturoi
• 1 lingura ulei de masline
• ½ lingurita condiment Arabiatta (optional, pentru un plus de picant)
• 2 fire busuioc verde
• Sare

Incepem cu sosul. Incingem o lingura de ulei de masline intr-o tigaie adanca si adaugam usturoiul tocat marunt. Il calim usor, doar 20 de secunde, cat sa elibereze aroma, apoi adaugam ardeii copti taiati cubulete.

Calim totul 2–3 minute, apoi adaugam rosiile taiate grosier, sare, condimentul picant (daca folosim) si frunzele de busuioc. Lasam sa fiarba la foc mic spre mediu timp de aproximativ 40 de minute. Amestecam din cand in cand si, daca sosul scade prea mult, completam cu cate putina apa. Rosiile trebuie sa fie bine gatite si sosul sa aiba o textura catifelata.

Intre timp, pregatim pestele. Incingem o tigaie antiaderenta si o stropim cu foarte putin ulei de masline. Condimentam fileurile de merluciu cu sare si le asezam in tigaie cu pielea in jos. Le prajim 3 minute pana prind o crusta frumoasa, apoi le intoarcem si le mai lasam 1 minut.

Transferam fileurile in tigaia cu sos, acoperim cu un capac si lasam totul pe foc mic inca 7 minute, astfel incat pestele sa se patrunda complet si aromele sa se combine.

Servim fierbinte, cu frunze proaspete de busuioc deasupra si crutoane de mamaliga prajita – o garnitura rustica si crocanta care completeaza perfect acest preparat.

Hake in Roasted Pepper and Tomato Sauce

Hake in Roasted Pepper and Tomato Sauce – a quick, light dish full of summer flavor! When you’re out of dinner ideas during the week but still craving something easy and full of flavor, this simple hake recipe with roasted peppers and tomatoes is exactly what you need. Made with basic ingredients, ready in under an hour, and perfect alongside a quick side like crispy polenta – it’s the kind of dish that brings holiday vibes, laid-back lunches, and fresh, comforting tastes.

INGREDIENTS (serves 2)

• 400 g hake fillet
• 2 roasted bell peppers
• 5–6 ripe tomatoes
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp arrabbiata seasoning (optional, for a little kick)
• A few fresh basil leaves
• Salt, to taste

Start with the sauce: heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a deep pan and add the finely chopped garlic. Sauté for just 20 seconds, until fragrant, then stir in the diced roasted peppers.

Cook for 2–3 minutes, then add the roughly chopped tomatoes, salt, arrabbiata (if using), and the basil leaves. Simmer on low to medium heat for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of water. The tomatoes should be well-cooked and the sauce smooth and velvety.

Meanwhile, prepare the fish. Heat a non-stick pan and add just a touch of olive oil. Season the hake fillets with salt and place them skin-side down. Cook for about 3 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp, then flip and cook for another minute.

Transfer the fillets into the pan with the sauce, cover with a lid, and let everything simmer for another 7 minutes so the fish cooks through and soaks up all those flavors.

Serve hot, topped with fresh basil and some crispy fried polenta croutons – a rustic, crunchy side that makes the whole dish even better.
