Rain ~ Fish Stew ~ Dragons ~
Good 47º raining morning.
Looks like since yesterday afternoon we've gotten
So, yesterday I cleaned out stuff.... everywhere... sort of like having ADHD and opening a cupboard, tossing out something, opening the freezer and tossing out stuff there too! Oh look, there's a squirrel!!!
Well I came across frozen bottom fish that Patty and Cliff had caught and packaged. I decided to make Fish Stew.
Well I came across frozen bottom fish that Patty and Cliff had caught and packaged. I decided to make Fish Stew.
First I took some Christopher Ranch chopped garlic, anchovie fillets that had been soaked in water for about 5 minutes-rinsed-patted dry and put them in the bullet blender until they became a paste. (This can also be done with a mortar and pestle.) Set aside. Cook 1 chopped onion in olive oil with 2 cans of sliced mushrooms until crusty on the edges. Add garlic/anchovie paste and stir in. Chop 8 slices of bacon and cook until crispy. Drain.
Add all of the above to the crockpot, adding two cans of diced tomatoes. I also added two fresh chopped tomatoes that were reaching the end of their life span.

that and then the cut up fish fillets.
along with some orange zest...
4 red potatoes cut bite-size and a couple glergs of lemon juice.

I also added 'Rosemary' sea salt, lots of black Sonoma pepper, and a handful of red pepper flakes to make it 'spicy'!!!
This cooked on low for about 6 hours. The fish I used was very firm, and it stays together, doesn't flake apart.
