Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Whole fish such as snapper, bream -- porgy, sea bass
1/2 Cup dry white wine
1 Cup gaeta olives
2 jalapenos, seeded -- and chopped
1 1/2 Cups basic tomato sauce
1 Head fennel, sliced paper thin
fronds set aside -- chopped
1 Bunch fresh oregano -- leaves only
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Clean and gut fish, remove top and bottom fins, scale and remove gills.
Stand fish up in a shallow casserole, just large enough to hold the fish.
Pour wine over fish and add olives, jalapenos, tomato sauce, fennel and
oregano. Drizzle fish with olive oil, place in oven and cook until just
cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove, sprinkle with fennel fronds
and serve immediately.

(An excellent contorno for this dish would be tiny potatoes, roasted with
garlic and rosemary.)

Yield: 4 servings
