This Mediterranean Vegetable & Fish Stew is truly one gem of a dish. It´s packed with so many great flavors, super easy to make and done in about 40 minutes. Serve it next to a crusty baguette and a bottle of Spanish white wine for the ultimate Mediterranean experience.
The fish I used to make this recipe is Hake, known as merluza in Spain. But you can use any other white firm fish. Such as cod or halibut or any other white fish you can find. The hake I used was fresh, but you can also use frozen that´s been thawed out. Just make sure to pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess water. This way the fish absorbs all the flavors in the pan.
I also used raw shrimp (peeled & deveined) that I bought frozen and thawed out. Once again, so important to pat the shrimp if bought frozen and thawed out with paper towels, as it helps remove any excess water in the shrimp.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I used the typical vegetables that are used in the Mediterranean to make this recipe. But you can use any vegetables you like or whatever you have on hand. The secret, make sure to cut the vegetables into larger pieces, as it gives the stew a chunkier texture.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
MY NONSTICK FRYING PAN
EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
HOMEMADE VEGETABLE BROTH
SPANISH SEA SALT

This was delicious. But I question the number of servings, i.e., that it serves only two. There’s the amount of fish that I would serve as dinner for two, plus the amount of shrimp that would serve as dinner for two. That’s a lot of content for the soup/stew. I’ll use your freezing suggestion for the leftovers and we’ll enjoy it again before long.22 . Feb . 2022

It makes two big servings, but you can probably get 4 servings out of the dish if you serve smaller portions 🙂 much love

Any thoughts on freezing leftovers and how the fish and shrimp will hold up.11 . Feb . 2022

Transfer the cold stew into a freezerproof container, making sure the fish is covered with liquid. Will hold for up to 3 months 🙂 much love

Made it yesterday and it was delicious! What is great about these recipes is most of the time the ingredients are simple and most people have them in their larder. I made the vegetable stew in the morning but only added the fish at night just b4 serving so it would be nice and tender! It’s a keeper.06 . Dec . 2021
