Number Of Ingredients 13

4 to 5 tablespoons ghee
2 medium red onions, chopped
1 small fennel bulb, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise, fronds reserved for garnish
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Arabic Seafood Spice Blend
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 serrano chile, seeded and finely chopped
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 pounds skinless swordfish steaks, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
Grilled flatbread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat ghee in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add onions and sliced fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato paste, cumin, and spice blend and cook until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and serrano and cook 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and 2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Season fish with salt and pepper and add to pot. Simmer, uncovered, until fish is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add lime juice and season with salt and pepper; gently stir to combine. Ladle stew into bowls; garnish with fennel fronds. Serve with lime wedges and flatbread, if desired.
