Fish Fennel And Tomato Stew Food

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.

Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add the tomatoes with their juices, stock, garlic, and saffron to the pot, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Add the shrimp, fish, and mussels, bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the pot to sit covered for another 5 minutes. The fish and shrimp should be cooked and the mussels opened. Discard any mussels that don't open. Stir in the Pernod, orange zest, and salt, to taste. Serve ladled over 1 or 2 slices of toasted baguette.;
• Warm the oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp shells, onions, carrots, and celery over medium heat for 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook 2 more minutes.

You should have approximately 1 quart of stock. If not, you can make up the difference with water or white wine.
