Probably right about time I posted something useful, so here goes: Fish Stew for Two.

In one big (lidded) pan...chop one red onion pretty finely and fry until transparent in butter. Add two rashers of roughly chopped smoked bacon per person, fry 'til cooked through. Pour in one tin of chopped tomatoes, heat through. Throw in loads of ripped up basil. Place enough chunky white fish (cod or monkfish, not salmon - tastes too strong) for two people on top of the mix - leave the fish whole as it breaks up when it's cooked. Put a lid on it. Walk away. Walk back in 12 minutes to see if the fish is cooked. When the fish is cooked, throw in more basil, take off the heat, then really gently stir in about two dollops of creme fraiche.

Best served with big bread and a bottle of Fitou. Because that's also for two.

I'll get me coat.
