2 halibut steaks about 1 inch thick (about 1 ¾ pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ½ cups red wine
1 ½ cups fish or chicken stock
2 tablespoons tomato puree
¼ cup ground walnuts
Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Cut the halibut steaks in half. Wipe them dry with paper towels and coat them on both sides with one tablespoon of the olive oil. Set aside.

Stir the walnuts into the sauce. It should be quite thick. Season with pepper and add the olives and capers.

Place the steaks on heated plates and cover each one with the sauce. Serve immediately.
