Fisherman’s Stew
This recipe is easy to make and you can “stew” any combination of fish and shellfish in the broth. Serve with crusty French bread and with any starch – roasted potatoes, rice, or Pasta! Enjoy!
Start with:
2 Tbl olive oil
2 cups diced or julienne onion
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced peppers (red, green, &/or yellow)
Saute onions and when soft add the garlic and other veggies – saute until tender and add all the following :
1 quart diced tomatoes – canned or fresh
1 quart tomato sauce
1 cup red wine
1 cup water
3 cups clam or fish broth
2 Bay leaves
1 Tbl fresh minced oregano
1/2 tsp each: seed, black pepper, rosemary
pinch chili flakes
1 tsp salt or to taste
Combine and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes and either cool for later use – or add seafood at this time.
This recipe makes about 1 gallon of stock – which should be enough for 12 or more large bowl servings.
Enjoy!
