We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium low heat.

  • Step 2: Add onion and garlic and cook until soft but not browned, about 7 minutes.

  • Step 3: Add paprika and red pepper and stir for a few seconds.

  • Step 4: Add peppers and tomatoes, increase heat to medium, and cook until the tomatoes begin to release their juice, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 5: Stir in chard and parsley and cook, stirring, just until wilted, 3-4 minutes.

  • Step 6: Add bay leaf, wine, and currants.

  • Step 7: Heat to simmering.

  • Step 8: Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until vegetables are softened and flavors blended, 5-7 minutes.

  • Step 9: At this point the mixture may be covered and refrigerated up to 1 day, or you can finish the dish right away.

  • Step 10: Preheat oven to 300°F.

  • Step 11: Season fish with salt and pepper.

  • Step 12: Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  • Step 13: Dust fish lightly with flour and saute for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove and set aside.

  • Step 14: Place potatoes in a single layer, overlapping slightly, in a baking dish large enough to hold the fish snugly in a single layer.

  • Step 15: Sprinkle lightly with salt and arrange fish on top.

  • Step 16: Remove bay leaf from vegetable mixture and discard.

  • Step 17: Season mixture with salt and pepper and spoon vegetable mixture and juices evenly over fish.

  • Step 18: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with pine nuts.

  • Step 19: Bake at 300° until very tender, 45-50 minutes depending on thickness. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
