Fish Stew With Ginger And Tomatoes 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.

SICILIAN-STYLE FISH STEW RECIPE

Cook, stirring regularly, until softened (about 4 minutes). Add thyme, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook briefly until fragrant (about 30 more seconds).
• Now, stir in the white wine and reserved tomato juice from can. Bring to a simmer, and cook until the liquid is reduced by about 1/2. Add the tomatoes, vegetable broth, raisins, and capers. Cook for 15-20 minutes over medium heat until flavors combine.
• Pat the fish dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Insert the fish pieces into the cooking liquid, and give everything a gentle stir so that the fish pieces are nicely covered in the cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and cover. Let sit off heat for another 4-5 minutes so that the fish will finish cooking. Fish should be flaky when gently pulled apart with a paring knife. Finally, stir in the chopped parsley.
• Ladle the hot fish stew into serving bowls, top each with a few toasted pine nuts, if you like. Serve with your favorite crusty bread! Enjoy!

TOMATO-POACHED FISH WITH CHILE OIL AND HERBS

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet (use one with a lid) over medium-high. Add garlic and shallots and cook, swirling the skillet constantly until they start to toast and turn light golden brown, 2 minutes or so. Add red-pepper flakes and swirl to toast for a few seconds. Remove from heat and transfer all but 1 tablespoon of the chile oil to a small bowl.
• Add tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they burst and start to become saucy and jammy, 5 to 8 minutes. Add fish sauce, if using, and 1 1/2 cups water, swirling to release any of the bits stuck on the bottom of the skillet.
