Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds redfish fillets or other firm white fish, such as snapper, drum, or grouper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Rustic Rub
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup flour
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
2 mild green chilies or banana peppers, sliced lengthwise in half and seeded
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups chopped peeled and seeded tomatoes or 2 cups chopped canned tomatoes
1 cup water
1 3/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cut the fish fillets into 3-inch pieces. Season with 1 tablespoon of the rub. Set aside in the refrigerator. Make a roux by combining the oil and flour in a large cast-iron or enameled cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir slowly with a wire whisk or wooden spoon for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the roux becomes dark brown, the color of chocolate. Add the celery, onions, bell peppers, and chilies. Cook, stirring often, for 6 to 7 minutes. Add the bay leaves and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, water, and the remaining 1 teaspoon rub. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour, or until a thin oil film appears on the surface. Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking. Increase the heat to medium, add the broth, salt, and cayenne and cook for about 15 minutes. Lay the fish in the mixture and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. During the last 5 minutes of cooking time, add the green onions and parsley. Remove the bay leaves. Serve hot.

EASY FISH STEW WITH MEDITERRANEAN FLAVORS



Easy Fish Stew With Mediterranean Flavors image

This is a typical fisherman's stew. No need to make a fish stock; water, aromatics and anchovies will suffice. Use anchovies even if you don't like them, as they add great depth of flavor, not to mention omega-3 fats. And don't worry: the dish won't taste like anchovies.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large garlic cloves, cut in half, green shoots removed
4 anchovy fillets, soaked in water for 4 minutes, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with liquid
1 quart water
1 pound small new potatoes, scrubbed and quartered or sliced
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a strip of orange zest, a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley, and a dried red chile if desired, tied together with a string
Freshly ground pepper
1 to 1 1/2 pounds firm white-fleshed fish such as halibut, tilapia, Pacific cod or black cod, cut in 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place the garlic cloves and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Add the anchovy fillets and mash with the garlic. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven, and add the onion, celery and carrot with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender, about five minutes. Add the pureed garlic and anchovy. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is very fragrant, about one minute, and then add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down a bit and the mixture smells aromatic, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the water, potatoes, salt (to taste) and the bouquet garni. Bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low, cover partially and simmer 30 minutes. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper to taste. Remove the bouquet garni.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper, and stir into the soup. The soup should not be boiling. Simmer five to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets) or just until it flakes easily when poked. Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley, taste once more, adjust seasonings and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish. This will give your stew the best flavor. If you can't get fresh fish, frozen fish will also work.
  • Choose a variety of fish. This will add flavor and texture to your stew. Some good choices include salmon, cod, halibut, and tilapia.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
  • Add vegetables. Vegetables will add flavor, nutrition, and color to your stew. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of your stew, so make sure it's flavorful. You can use a store-bought broth or make your own.
  • Season the stew to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Fish stew is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover fish, and it's also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fish stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
