Miracle fish soup
This one is real easy and comes together very quickly. Great to impress your friends.
I call it a miracle becasue when it first read the recipe that was the genesis of this one, I said to myself no way this can work. Cold ingredients in a cold pot--yeah, right!
2 pounds cod or hake or haddock
Juice of two limes (at least)
1 teaspoon (at least) red pepper flakes
4 cloves (at least) garlic roughly chopped
1 ½ pounds Cherry tomatoes (parboiled and peeled)
1 large sweet onion roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper, somewhat peeled and roughly chopped
2 cans Cannellini beans
1 cup chopped cilantro
½ cup chopped parsley
½ cup good olive oil
Marinate fish in Olive oil, lime juice, garlic and red pepper flakes for at least an hour and up to 4.
Put tomatoes in bottom of cold pot. Add onions, peppers and beans. Add Fish and pour marinate into pot.
Bring to boil and then simmer 20 minutes, until vegetables have softened and released their juices and fish is barely cooked through(about 20 minutes)
Stir in herbs and serve with crusty bread and green salad
6 servings
5 hours, only 1/2 hour cooking
You can use a 28 oz. can of tomatoes instead of the cherry tomatoes

Amazing. Is the miracle in the miracle fish soup the sudden appearance of liquid? It blew my mind.
ReplyDeleteThe miracle is that it works at all. When I read the recipe that gave birth to this one, I said "it can't possibly work". But it does!
