Spicy Red Fish Stew image

This simple and delicious recipe is from Meriel MacDonald of Kinloch Lodge on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. I changed this recipe a little by adding some clam juice because I like it saucier!

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large red bell peppers (I used jarred roasted red bell peppers)
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
12 shallots, chopped
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes with juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper (I doubled that)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon grated lemon, rind of
2 lbs halibut or 2 lbs cod fish fillets, cut into 1 inch pieces (I used cod)
1 cup clam juice (I added this because I thought it was a little dry) (optional)

Steps:

  • Char bell peppers over flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides.
  • Enclose peppers in paper bag 10 minutes.
  • Peel, seed, and chop peppers.
  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add shallots and saute until very soft, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir in peppers, tomatoes with juice, garlic, and crushed red pepper.
  • Simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors.
  • I added the clam juice at this point and brought it back to a simmer.
  • Stir in cilantro and lemon peel.
  • Add fish; simmer until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes.
  • Season stew to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon into bowls and serve.
  • I served it over steamed rice.
  • I love this sauce and I think I'll substitute shrimp next time for fish.
