Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

Heat the olive oil in a large shallow pan or casserole dish. Add the fennel and onion with a pinch of salt, and cook for 8–10 minutes until softened.

Add the garlic and tomato purée, stir and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Pour in the tomatoes, butter beans and stock. Stir and simmer for 8 minutes until slightly reduced. Season to taste.

5

Stir through the spinach until wilted.

6

Nestle the trout fillets into the stew, cover with a lid, and cook for 6–8 minutes until just cooked through.

7

Finish with a sprinkle of capers, lemon juice, zest and parsley.
