Fish And Eggplant Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Remove any skin from the fish fillets and cut the fillets into 1-inch pieces; set aside.
• In a Dutch oven cook the onion and green pepper in hot cooking oil until the onion is tender but not brown. Once the onion is translucent, add the garlic and jalapeno pepper. Stir in undrained tomatoes, eggplant, tomato sauce, water, salt, ground red pepper, and creole seasoning. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes or until the eggplant is tender.
• Stir in okra and fish pieces. Cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes longer or until the okra is tender and the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork; stir occasionally while cooking.
• Ladle the stew into soup bowls. Spoon some hot cooked basmati rice atop each serving.

Steps:

• For the stew: In a 6-quart, heavy bottomed stock pot or Dutch oven, heat 1/3 cup of oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 to 8 minutes. Turn the heat to high. Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, water and red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 18 to 20 minutes. Season the fish with salt and add to the stew. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season the stew with salt, if needed.
• For the Crostini: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until light golden, about 12 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes. Rub the warm toasts with the cut side of the garlic.
