Instructions
- 1In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, diced tomatoes, minced onion, minced parsley, tomato pulp, melted butter, sliced olives, and seedless raisins. Mix well to combine.
- 2Fill the fish fillets with the prepared filling. Sew up the fish to secure the filling, or secure with toothpicks.
- 3In a saucepan, combine red and green chile peppers, red and green sweet peppers (all seeded and split). Add water to barely cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Mash the peppers in the water. Press through a sieve to remove seeds and skins. Heat olive oil in a pan. Fry onion, parsley, and garlic in the oil. Add oregano, chopped tomatoes, cloves, pepper pulp, and salt to taste. Cook until the sauce thickens. Strain the sauce.
- 4Place the filled fish in a baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- 5Carefully remove the baked fish from the pan and place it on a hot platter. Peel off the skin. Pour the hot prepared Spanish sauce over the fish. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.
