Description

This Fish Stew Recipe is made with halibut, mahi mahi and cod, porcini mushrooms, tomatoes, white wine, parsley and red wine vinegar.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds of halibut, cod or mahi mahi
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 2 small tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 3 cups canned Italian tomatoes with juice, seeds removed via strainer
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  •  8 to 10 fresh basil leaves, finely shredded

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and wait for the oil to shimmer.
  2. Add the garlic and parsley. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes.
  3. Increase the heat to high and add the wine. Cook and stir until the wine is almost all reduced, 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Add the red wine vinegar and the canned tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir every once in a while.
  5. Add the fish and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Taste and add salt if necessary. Stir in the basil and serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Since fish stew relies heavily on the flavor of the seafood, it's important to use fresh fish and shellfish for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish cooks quickly, so be sure not to overcook it, or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Let the flavors meld: Fish stew tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had a chance to meld, so consider making it a day ahead of time if possible.
  • Adjust seasoning carefully: Be careful when adding salt, since fish stock and seafood can be naturally salty. Taste the stew as you go along and adjust seasoning accordingly.
  • Serve with crusty bread: A hunk of crusty bread is the perfect accompaniment to soak up all the delicious broth.
