Best Lemon And Tomato Fish Stew Recipes

TOMATO FISH STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. (I used an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven.)
• Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until onion has softened a little, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add fennel, celery, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes (use according to taste), salt and black pepper. Stir to combine. Stir in water (or wine). Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, ensuring nothing is sticking.Note: Depending on how salty the canned tomatoes and fish stock/broth are (and how you like things), you may not need to add salt.
• Stir in tomatoes and fish stock/broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat (about medium-low heat) to a simmer. Cover with lid slightly ajar and cook for 10 minutes.
• Stir in potatoes, cover with lid slightly ajar and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
• Gently place cod into the pot, cover again with lid slightly ajar and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (insert the tines of a fork into the thickest part of the fish at an angle and twist gently; it should flake easily). Note: If you want a looser or thinner consistency, stir in a little water or more fish stock and heat through.
• To serve, divide the stew into bowls and garnish, if desired, with reserved fennel fronds, a drizzle of regular or lemon olive oil and sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes. Enjoy! This stew is great with a hunk of bread for dunking.
