Spicy Fish Stew with Orange Roughy
Description
This spicy fish stew is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare, making it a delightful addition to your meal repertoire. Adapted from “A Spoonful of Ginger,” a beloved cookbook by Nina Simonds, this recipe showcases the delicate flavors of orange roughy, which adds a lovely twist to the original cod. To suit my family’s taste, I’ve reduced the amount of red onions, but feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking. Serve this stew alongside steamed rice and crusty bread for a comforting and satisfying dinner.

Instructions
-
In a 6-quart Dutch oven, begin by heating the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly. Once hot, add the minced garlic, red onion, crushed red pepper flakes, and diced green pepper to the pot.
-
Sauté the mixture for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the onions to become slightly transparent while the peppers soften, filling your kitchen with an aromatic medley of scents.
-
Next, incorporate the fresh tomatoes, rice wine, clam juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper into the pot. Stir well to combine the ingredients, then bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
After the mixture has simmered, gently add the pieces of orange roughy to the tomato mixture, taking care to toss them lightly to ensure they are well-coated. Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
-
Before serving, taste the stew for seasoning, adjusting with more salt if necessary. Finally, sprinkle with minced scallion tops for a fresh burst of flavor and color.
