Chatelaine Triple Tested

This is the second part of a two-for-one dinner recipe, which uses the leftovers from yesterday's baked puttanesca tilapia for a fresh fish stew.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 small onion, finely diced

  • 1/2 large fennel bulb, finely diced

  • 1 carrot, finely diced

  • 1 cup water

  • 796 mL canned diced tomatoes

  • 236 mL clam juice

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 reserved cooked tilapia fillets, cut into pieces, and sauce (from baked puttanesca fish with quinoa)

Instructions

  • HEAT a large pot over medium-high. Add oil, then onion, fennel and carrot. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables begin to soften, 5 min. Stir in water, tomatoes, clam juice and bay leaf. Boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cover and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 15 min.

  • STIR reserved fish and sauce (from the baked puttanesca fish recipe) and chili flakes into stew. Cook until warmed through, about 3 min. Remove and discard bay leaf. Ladle stew into bowls. Serve with crusty bread.
