1/ Preheat your oven to 180° (gas mark 6)
2/ Cut your cod into small pieces in a saucepan, salt, pepper and pour in your Muscat, bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, then add your 2 cooked and mashed potatoes, half the garlic, and a splash of olive oil. Continue cooking for 2 minutes while constantly stirring with a spatula then transfer to a large salad bowl.
With a fork, crush everything well to make a smooth mixture.
3/ In an ovenproof dish, arrange
your 8 hollowed tomato halves, salt, pepper, then fill each one with your puree and sprinkle a little breadcrumbs on top.
4/ Around them, arrange your diced peppers, the insides of your tomatoes, the remaining chopped garlic, a few black and green pitted and crushed olives, then salt and pepper.
5/ Pour a generous splash of olive oil over your tomatoes and garnish.
Cook in the oven for 35 minutes
That's it, it's done. Serve on beautiful plates the 2 tomato shells as a surprise, the garnish around it, all served with a nice chilled rosé and here is an unpretentious dish that I think will delight you.
