Ingredients 

Recipe adapted from one on SimplyRecipes.com

  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 large cloves garlic
  • 2/3 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 2-3 fresh chopped tomatoes, around 1-1 ½ cups
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup shellfish stock
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 pounds fish fillets
  • Pinch dried oregano
  • Pinch dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Wash and dry all of your produce.
  2. Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. 
  3. Roughly chop your parsley leaves and finely chop the tomato.
  4. In a cast iron skillet, over your fire, heat a drizzle of olive oil and saute the onion until fragrant and translucent. 
  5. Add in garlic and cook for another minute before topping with parsley. Cook for two minutes until everything is releasing those wonderful aromatics, and then add the tomatoes and tomato paste. 
  6. Cook, stirring occasionally, on as indirect heat as possible for approximately 10 minutes.
  7. While the base cooks, clean and prepare your fish. If you are using a fish with firm meat, like cod or halibut, cut into two-inch pieces. If you’re using something with softer flesh, I recommend cooking the fillets whole in the stock.
  8. Once the base and cooked, add in the fish stock, white wine, and fish fillets. 
  9. Bring the whole thing to a simmer until the fish is cooked. 3-5 minutes. 
  10. Add in oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and Tabasco to taste.
  11. This stew is great when served in bread bowls, but you can easily serve it over rice or with bowls.
