Fish Stew (for 4 or 2 very hungry persons)

 

Fish Stew (for 4 or 2 very hungry persons) 

6 Tbsp olive oil 
1 onion chopped 
2 large garlic cloves chopped 
2/3 cup of fresh parsley chopped 
1 cup fresh chopped tomato (1 medium tomato) I used half a bottle of home made coulis 
2 tsp tomato paste 
230 ml clam juice (I couldn't find any so I'd substituted with Japanese dashi stock instead. 230 ml of water with 1.5 tsp of dashi powder) 
2/3 cup of white wine (then pour yourself a glass as it's cooking) 
700 g fish fillets (use at least 3 diff types of firm white fish - I used sea bass, cod & another fish which I don't have the English name) 

oregano, tabasco, thyme, pepper, salt to taste (I added thyme, salt & pepper but also a little saffron for the extra kick) 


1. Heat olive oil & then fry onions & garlic for about 4 mins 
2. Add parsley & fry further 
3. Add tomatoes, paste & cook for another 2 mins 
4. Add clam juice (stock), wine & fish. Simmer till fish is cooked. Not more than 10 mins. You don't want the fish to break up. Add herbs, spices, salt & pepper to taste.
