- 1/2 cup white wine or water
- Crusty bread for serving
- Put oil in a broad skillet over medium heat; add onion, garlic and thyme.
- When onion turns golden, add tomato and some salt and pepper.
- Turn heat to high; when tomato breaks down, add 1/2 cup of water or white wine.
- When liquid returns to a boil, lower heat and add peas and mackerel.
