A fishermans stew (to serve four)

A fishermans stew may sound complicated but in reality it is very straight forward. Try to buy prepared fish so that you don't have to spend time preparing the fish by your tent.

· 2 onions sliced
· 1 red pepper, seeded and sliced
· 120 g (4 oz) mushrooms, sliced
· 450 g (1 lb) canned tomatoes

· 140 ml (1/4 pint) white wine
· 30 ml (3 tablespoons) chopped parsley
