Mediterranean Fish Stew
- 4 fish fillets (no bones) cut into bite sized pieces
- 30 ml (2 table spoons) olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 medium onion (can be a red onion)
- 1 can tomatoes 796 ml (28 fl oz)
- 2.5 ml (½ tsp) hot pepper flakes
- 125 ml (½ cup) chicken broth
- 5 ml (1 tsp) thyme
- Salt and Pepper
Heat oil in medium-high heat, toss in onions, hot pepper and garlic (you can leave the cloves whole if you want, I like them chopped with ¼ tsp salt).
Once onions soften, add tomatoes (500 ml or 2 cup home canned is good, if whole chop (preferred) or crush).
Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, then add your chopped fish (I like haddock, basa or any white fleshed fish). Cook for another 1 to 4 minutes (until the fish chunks are cooked).
Serves 2 easily, can serve 3, should serve 4.
Substitutions: to make special, use white wine instead of broth, add 5 ml (1 tsp) of spicy basil or oregano.
