Spicy Fish Stew

I had a craving for seafood and something spicy. I also had fish in the freezer I needed to use before it got too old. The result is this fish stew. Cobbled together from things handy in the kitchen, it turned into a hearty and delicious dinner...particularly with the addition of some Peasant Bread. I hope you like it.

Ingredients:

• 1.5-2 lbs Whiting and Cod, cubed (or any other combination of white fish, shrimp, or prawns)
• 1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 red onion, diced
• 2 tbsp Cajun Fish Rub
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp olive oil* (or vegetable oil)

Helpful Gear:

• Heavy bottomed Dutch Oven

*NOTE: When cooking I only use regular olive oil, not extra virgin. This is because regular olive oil has a higher smoke point and is therefore more suited to cooking. Extra virgin olive oil should really only be used cool in things like salad dressings.

Bring a little olive or vegetable oil up to medium temperature in a heavy bottomed dutch oven. Add onions and stir until softened. Add cajun rub and stir until aromatic. Add peppers and stir until soft.

Add the can of tomatoes and the water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the fish and then simmer 5-10 minutes more, until the fish is cooked through.

Serve and Enjoy!
