Free Healthy Recipe - Sicilian Fish Pie with Millet Crust

Dairy free, Gluten free, Low fat, Low GI, Wheat Free

I'd save this for a dinner party and make it in the day ready to pop in the oven when the guests arrive. All you have to do while your guests are there is steam the beans. If there's anyone coming who doesn't eat gluten then this is the dish for them. It's another dish where there's no better grain substitute.

Ingredients

Millet crust:
3 cups water
2 tbsp fresh thyme
¼ cup parmesan, grated
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup basil, loosely packed; roughly chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 small chilli, finely chopped
1 bulb fennel, finely chopped (include the top leaf)
1 small red capsicum, finely chopped
1 cup fish stock
100 grams Sicilian olives, deseeded and halved
2 400 gram cans tomatoes, organic
8 sprigs fresh thyme
500 grams white fish pieces, cut into chunks
Method

Bring the water to the boil and add the millet. Reduce the heat to simmer and add the millet. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
Set aside to cool. Separate the grains with a fork and add the fresh thyme and parmesan.

Heat the oil to hot and add the basil to fry it. Wait until it darkens in colour before adding the onion, garlic and chili. Saute for 2 minutes and add the fennel and capsicum. Cook for a further 2 - 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes (use your hands to break the tomatoes into small chunks) and the fish stock. Add the sprigs of thyme, bring to the boil and reduce to simmer for 25 minutes uncovered.

Remove from the heat. Add the fish pieces and olives and transfer to a pie dish. Lay the millet crust over the top of the fish and sauce. Cover in foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Serve with steamed green beans.

Note: Sicilian olives are available from good delis, recognisable by their large bright green appearance.
