Tilapia Veracruz

This was absolutely delicious! I came across this recipe, but modified to my liking. The tilapia was served with pesto Quinoa and grilled veggies.

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 greeb bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• ½ cup tomato sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ cup olives, pitted and halfed
• ¼ cup white wine
• salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tilapia filets

1. In a large skillet (I used cast iron skillet) heat oil over medium high heat. Add chopped tomatoes, sliced bell peppers and onion. Season with salt and stir. Reduce heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook for about 15 or until vegetables are tender.
2. Add tomato sauce, minced garlic, olives and white wine. Season again with salt and pepper. Stir well and let simmer for about 10 min.
3. Season both sides of tilapia filet with salt and freshly ground black peppers, and place in the skillet. Spoon the sauce on top of the tilapia filets. Cover with a lid and continue to cook on the stove over medium heat for about 5 - 6 minutes, , or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
