Wash the fish and pat dry. Finely chop the parsley, onions, garlic and peperoncino. Cut the tomatoes and olives into slightly larger pieces.


Sauce:

Fry 50% of the garlic and the onions in 3 tablespoons of oil that is not too hot, add the tomatoes and olives, season with salt and pepper and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir every now and then. Finally, the sauce can be seasoned with a little sugar and balsamic vinegar.


The sauce can be pureed, but it doesn't have to be. Take the sauce out of the pan.


Salt and pepper the fish.


Filling:

Make a mixture with the parsley, the other 50% of the garlic, chili peppers and about 4 tablespoons of olive oil and cover / roll up the fish fillets. If the fish can be rolled, secure with a number pick, otherwise marinate with it for at least 30 minutes.



Remove the fish from the marinade and lightly fry the sauce with a little oil in the same pan as before. After about 2 minutes, spread the sauce over the fish and add the rest of the marinade. Put the lid on the pan and cook for about 10 minutes at a low temperature until the fish involtini are cooked through.


Sprinkle with a little parsley and serve.
