Fish Friday

Lenten Fish Stew

For those of you that have been following me, you know what Friday dinner means. This past Friday night I made a very simple fish stew that took about a 1/2 hour to make. It was rich in flavor, and it required some good ol’ crusty bread to help soak up the tomato broth. This dish will serve 4 servings.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1/2 of a yellow pepper diced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can of fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 4 garlic gloves crushed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup of fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup of fresh chopped basil
  • 1 1/2 cup of vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 pounds of cod cut into 2″ chunks
  • 1/2 pound of medium shrimp
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a dutch oven over med-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and peppers. Saute until onion is translucent (about 3-5 minutes) Add tomatoes, vegetable broth, salt and pepper, parsley, basil, and fish. Cover and let simmer 10 minutes. Next add shrimp and let simmer for 7 minutes uncovered.

Ladle stew into bowl and top with grated cheese. Serve with a lot of crusty bread!

Enjoy!!!
