![]() recipe 2 T olive oil 1 medium onion, diced 1 Cup peeled, diced carrot ( 2 carrots) 1 Cup diced celery ( 2 stocks) 3–4 smashed and rough chopped garlic cloves 2 Cups diced tomatoes ( or one 1 can diced) 3 Cups cannellini beans ( 2 Cans rinsed and drained, or 1 ½ C dried and soaked overnight 4 Cups chicken Stock 1–2 Cups water, depending on if using canned or dried beans 2 Tablespoons fresh sage ( or thyme, or rosemary) ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon cracked pepper 4 four ounce sea bass fillets ( or thick-cut true cod, escolar, halibut, black cod) oil, salt and pepper for fish Italian parsley for garnish Instructions In a medium -large heavy bottomed pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onions, and stir for two minutes. Add carrots, celery and garlic, turn heat to medium and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If using canned beans, add them, along with stock,1 C water, herbs and tomatoes, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low, cover and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, if using dried beans, make sure to soak them in ample water, overnight or up to 24 hours. (This will prevent gastric issues and shorten cooking time. ) After the carrots, celery and garlic have been sautéing for 5 minutes. Add the dried, soaked beans and the stock. Add 2 additional cups water. Add the herbs, but do not salt yet, and do not add the tomatoes yet. Bring to a boil on high heat. Cover, turn to low heat and let simmer 2 hours. Then add the salt, pepper and tomatoes. Continue simmering another ½ hour. If the stew is too brothy for you, leave the lid off and keep it at a gentle simmer, letting it reduce a bit. However, I really enjoy it brothy. Heat 1-2 T olive oil in a cast-iron skillet, over medium high-heat. Pat dry fish with paper towels and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Sear each side until a golden crust forms on the fish, and turn heat down to cook through to desired done-ness, taking care not to over cook. Place the stew in a wide shallow bowl, top with seared fish and garnish with fresh Italian parsley. -------------------- ![]() |
