Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat and then add the olive oil. When hot, add the onion and red pepper and gently fry for 4–5 minutes until softened and starting to colour. Stir in the garlic, paprika, tomato purée and chopped tomatoes, and continue to cook for a further 1–2 minutes. Add the beans (with a little of their liquid), stock and wine.

Pouring a simple teriyaki marinade over the fish before cooking really helps the flavours to mingle. In a small saucepan over a medium heat, combine 150ml/¼ pint water with the brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, rice wine, garlic and ginger. Stir and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, combine the cornflour with 2 tablespoons of cold water and whisk until fully dissolved, then add the cornflour mixture to the pan. Heat the sauce and whisk until it thickens – around 1 minute.
