CURRY FISH STEW

Steps:

• Blend cream into the onion mixture, and simmer until thickened. Mix in cod, cooking 3 to 5 minutes, until easily flaked with a fork. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

MEDITERRANEAN FISH STEW WITH GARLIC TOASTS

Steps:

• To make the garlic toasts, drizzle the bread with oil, then griddle or grill until golden all over. While the toasts are still hot, rub them with garlic and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a wide, deep frying pan. Add the onion and cook over a gentle heat for 5 mins until softened. Stir through the garlic and chilli and cook a couple of mins more. Add the tomato purée and tomatoes. Turn up the heat and cook for 10-15 mins, stirring until the tomatoes are pulpy. Pour over the wine and cook for 10 mins more until most of it has boiled away.
• Add the fish stock and orange zest and heat until gently simmering. Nestle the halibut chunks into the liquid and cook for 5 mins. Add the clams and prawns and cook for 5 mins more until the fish is cooked through and the clams have opened (discard any that haven't). Sprinkle the parsley over the stew and serve with the garlic toasts.

BIANCO (GARLICKY FISH STEW FROM CORFU)

Steps:

• Heat the butter and one tablespoon of oil in a large stew pot or Dutch oven (large enough for you to spread fish out in a single layer--it's okay if they are crowded a bit).

• Turn heat to medium high, add wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Reduce heat to medium low and add potatoes, salt and pepper and cook for about 8 to ten minutes.
• Lay the fish fillets over the potatoes, drizzle with the remaining oil, and add just enough water to cover the fish.
• Season with salt and pepper, partially cover, and simmer until fish is flaky, potatoes are soft and the liquid largely reduced (depending upon thickness of fish, anywhere from ten to twenty minutes.
• Adjust seasoning, squeeze lemon over the fish and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
