Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 onions

- 2 garlic cloves peeled, sliced
- ½ tsp sweet smoked paprika plus extra to serve
- 4 tomatoes chopped
- 400 g butter beans, drained, rinsed
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 250 ml fresh gluten-free fish stock
- 4 x 150g fresh hake fillets
- a handful of flat-leaf parsley chopped
Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat; fry the onions with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for another 8-10 minutes, until soft and just starting to turn golden. Add the paprika and fry for 1 more minute, then add the tomatoes and butter beans, frying for 2-3 minutes.

Add the fish stock to the sauté pan. As soon as it comes to a gentle simmer, nestle in the hake fillets. Cover with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Check the seasoning and serve sprinkled with parsley and a little more paprika, plus a dollop of the lemon mayo. Some lemon wedges and baby spinach leaves are wonderful alongside, if liked.
