No Stir Fish Stew

A delicate white fish stew that simmers without stirring, preserving the fish’s texture. Made with tomatoes, herbs, and garlic, it’s a light, brothy dish with Mediterranean flair.

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 pound bacon
  2. 7 small white potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  3. 6 (3 ounce) fillets whitefish
  4. 3 large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
  5. salt and pepper to taste
  6. 2 (10.75 ounce) cans manhattan style clam chowder
  7. 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

Directions

  1. Line the bottom of a large pot with bacon. Place a layer of potatoes over the bacon; then a layer of fish, in bite-size pieces; then a layer of onion slices, without separating the rings; and finally salt and pepper. Repeat layers, not including bacon, and finish with a final potato layer. Top with the chowder and crushed tomatoes. Pour in enough water so that all is covered.
  2. Cover and simmer, without stirring, over medium heat, until potatoes are tender -- 1 hour.
