Portuguese Fish Stew Recipe

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add leeks and onion; cook and stir until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add fennel and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Pour fish stock and vermouth into the pot. Add tomatoes, red bell pepper, orange zest, red pepper flakes, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until red bell pepper is soft, about 20 minutes.
Bring stock back to a boil. Add cod fillets; cook for 1 minute. Add shrimp, clams, and mussels; cook, shaking pot occasionally, until shells open and shrimp turn opaque, 1 to 2 minutes.

Cook 5-star weekday dinners every time.

Cook's Notes:
Substitute diced fresh tomatoes for the canned if desired.
Substitute 1 quart water or one 8-ounce bottle clam juice plus 3 cups water for the fish stock if preferred.
Substitute dry white wine for the vermouth if desired.
This can be made with any mix of white, non-oily fish and shellfish, as long as it equals three pounds all together.
