[realfood] Hello, and one of my family's faves...

Hi all! I'm new to the group and thought I'd start by sharing a
recipe that is one of my family's favorites: my kids call it the
world's best seafood stew :-)

Cyndi L


Seafood Stew

Olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
2 potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
15 oz vegetable broth
bay leaf
pepper
8 oz fish fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
6 oz can of clams with juice
8 oz can of oysters
2 oz can of anchovies
28 oz can of chopped tomatoes

Saute garlic through potatoes in olive oil in a large soup pot for
about 5 minutes. Add the broth and spices and bring to a boil. Reduce
heat to medium high and add the fish fillets. Simmer for about 3
minutes. Add clams through tomatoes, including all their juices, and
simmer only a few minutes more. Don't overcook to avoid toughening the
clams. Serves 4 with good appetites.

Feel free to make substitutions that will suit your family better.
Some can't abide oysters. That's fine, use shrimp instead, or more
clams. If you've got pre-cooked rice around from your once a week food
prep, consider adding that instead of potatoes if that's what your
family likes. Don't add pre-cooked rice until the last step though,
since it tends to expand too much if left soaking. I actually prefer
to add it to each individual bowl rather than the whole pot…it makes
the leftovers a lot nicer, if there are any leftovers :-)
