Sicilian fish stew

Sprinkle lemon zest and parsley
on top.

Summer is only few months away and my thoughts are in the food that suits for the warmer days. Even though it is only spring I decided to make this delicious Sicilian style fish stew that I served to friends.

This recipe is for 4-5 persons:

2 onions

4 celery stalks
6 garlic cloves
2 anchovies
1 red chili pepper with it seeds
About 20 grape tomatoes
2,5 dl white wine
8 dl vegetable bouillon
2 dl couscous
600 g haddock (or other similar white fish)
Lemon zest from 1 lemon
1 dl parsley

Use fresh white fish
fillets.

Season the vegetables
on medium fire.

Slice the vegetables.

Heat some olive oil in a casserole and add the thinly sliced onions, sliced celeries, sliced garlic, sliced chili and anchovies. Cook the vegetables around 10 minutes on a medium fire, do not let them to go brown. Add the sliced grape tomatoes and cook for couple of more minutes. Add the white wine and bouillon and let it boil for 2 minutes before adding the couscous. After adding the couscous, do not let the stew to boil anymore. Add the fish in to the stew and let the stew be under a lit for about 7 minutes. Remember that you should not boil the fish nor couscous.

Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the stew and serve with good Italian wine.
