Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds small whiting, gutted, gilled and scaled
3 large carrots, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
2 sweet peppers, preferably Anaheim, chopped
1 mild dried chile
2 inches ginger, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup short-grain rice
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound Italian or other fresh sausage, crumbled
Minced scallions for garnish
Cilantro or parsley for garnish

Steps:

In a large saucepan, cover the fish with 5 cups water, and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, place the lid on and let sit for 20 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate; when the fish is cool enough to handle, carefully remove the meat from the frames, and set aside; discard bones, head, fins, tail, etc. Strain the broth and return to the pot.
Add the remaining ingredients except the sausage and garnishes. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended and carrots and rice are tender, about 15 minutes.
Add the reserved fish, along with the sausage, and cook another couple of minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through. Turn off the heat, taste and adjust seasoning, and let rest for a few minutes, or eat piping hot, with the garnishes.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this stew without the fish. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I used shrimp instead of fish. The stew was still delicious, and my family loved it.

I made this stew in my slow cooker, and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some salmon fillets that I needed to use up, and this stew was the perfect solution.

I didn't have any tomatoes on hand, so I used tomato paste instead. It worked out just fine, and the stew was still delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stew turned out a little too spicy. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I made this stew for my family, and they all loved it! Even my picky kids ate it without complaining. I will definitely be making this again.
