Red Mullet on a Red Pepper, Tomato, Olive and Basil Stew Recipe
This dinner is healthy, simple but really tasty. I think red mullet is an under rated fish, it’s funny because I don’t like the grey variety as they taste a bit muddy. To keep it on our 5:2 diet we served the fish with a stew and alongside whole wheat couscous. The flavours are really…
