· Add the olives, thyme and chilli flakes. Fry for another minute.

· Pour in the fish stock and tinned tomatoes then simmer until the sweet potatoes and carrots are cooked, and the tomatoes have thickened, adding a little water if needed.

· Season to taste with salt and pepper, and add the white wine vinegar.

· Gently add the fish, cover pan with a lid, and cook for around 4 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Avoid stirring the mix too much during this time to stop the fish from breaking up.
