INGREDIENTS (the amounts depend on how many people you are cooking for):
potatoes (2 medium size potatoes per person)
cod fillets (or 1 per person)
white wine (100ml)
olive oil (100 ml, or the same amount as wine)
oregano (a lot of)




HOW TO PREPARE IT:

This meal is perfect for Friday nights during lent – if you are a good Christian giving up meat – and if you are not it is an easy and delicious variation of the Classic British pub grub with a twist. The twist involves a glass or two of wine.

Peel and slice potatoes in 1cm thick slices and evenly distribute them on the bottom of a slightly greased oven proof (preferably glass) dish. Put the dish in an oven you have pre-heated to 200 degrees Celsius.

After 30 min take the dish out, distribute fillets of cod over the potatoes. Mix wine, olive oil and oregano in a mug and then pour the mixture over cod and potatoes. Put it back in the oven for another 20 minutes, or until the fish is just done. Cod and fish in general doesn’t take long and it also doesn’t taste great if overcooked.

You can serve it with some lettuce or peas. It tastes delicious, and it’s only fish and chips after all!
