CHEF JOHN'S IRISH PORK STEW



Chef John's Irish Pork Stew image

I'm sure you've heard by now that corned beef and cabbage is not authentic St. Patrick's Day food. I decided to do a little mash-up and this Irish pork stew with baby cabbage was the result. By the way, baby cabbage can be a little hard to find, but you can use Brussels sprouts, and no one will know the difference, mostly because there isn't one.

ANYTIME FISH AND SHELLFISH STEW



Anytime Fish and Shellfish Stew image

This is a sort of ad-lib fish stew, inspired by the kind of stew you'd find served in the South of France: Its exact proportions and quantities aren't set in stone. Use whatever white-fleshed fish and shellfish you like. Potatoes make the dish more substantial, and the slices really absorb all the lovely flavors of the stew.

Categories     seafood, soups and stews, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced (about 2 cups)
Salt and pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1 large thyme sprig
Pinch of crumbled saffron threads
Pinch of red-pepper flakes or a whole small dried red pepper
Splash of dry white wine (about 1/4 cup)
1 1/2 cups chopped tomato, canned or fresh (about 2 medium)
4 cups fish stock or water

6 medium cherrystone clams, scrubbed
1 pound boneless, skinless cod or halibut, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 pound mussels, cleaned

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil over medium in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven. Add onions and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened and lightly colored, about 10 minutes.

Add potatoes and a good pinch of salt. Adjust heat to a brisk simmer. Cook with lid ajar until potatoes are just done, about 10 minutes.
