Try to eat two to three fish meals a week as fish has many health benefits. 

This filling recipe from the Heart Foundation Cookbook is just what the doctor ordered for a cold winter’s night (6.5g fat per serve).

1/2 red capsicum, sliced
1/2 green capsicum, sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons breadcrumbs (pref. made from 1-2 day old bread)

Method
