Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt together 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the carrot, leek, onion, red bell pepper, fennel, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Scoop half of the matignon (sautéed minced vegetables) from the pan and set aside. Stir the tomato paste, basil, oregano, thyme, and cayenne into the remaining vegetables and cook until the tomato paste starts to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Next, add half of the white wine to deglaze the pan, stirring to loosen any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season all of the seafood with salt and pepper.
  • Add the scallops to the pan and sear the first side until golden brown, 3 minutes. Flip and sear on the other side for another 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Wipe out the pan if needed.
  • Add more olive oil as needed, then add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 3 minutes on one side. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes more. Set aside.
  • Add more olive oil and the squid to the hot pan and sauté until cooked, 5 minutes.
  • Add more olive oil and the halibut to the hot pan, along with the crushed garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the halibut on one side, then flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes. Baste the fish with the melted garlic butter as the second side cooks. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the clams and mussels to the pan, pour in the remaining cup of white white, then cover the pot and steam for 5 minutes, until the shellfish pop open. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Transfer all of the cooked seafood, along with the leftover shellfish steaming liquid and reserved matignon, to the simmering stew; or plate the seafood and reserved matignon artfully in wide bowls and pour the hot stew over the top.

GREEK FISHERMAN'S STEW



Greek Fisherman's Stew image

It's summer, and no matter what you choose to drink, your plate should be bright with ripe beefsteak tomatoes and basil. If those treasures of the season complement a piece of fish, so much the better. Consider a kakavia, something Greek fishermen may assemble right on their boats, adding ingredients in fairly quick order as they cook in a round-bottomed pot also called a kakavia. It's a dish that welcomes wines that are clean-cut but with lip-smacking acidity balanced by sunny suggestions of melon and tropical fruit, like Austrian rieslings.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1 small head fennel, diced
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes, or to taste
2 large beefsteak tomatoes, cored and chopped, with their juices
1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
Ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 pounds wild striped bass fillets, skinned, cut in 12 pieces
6 basil leaves, torn
1 cup mayonnaise seasoned with 1 1/2 teaspoons sriracha or other hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Warm oil in a 4-quart saucepan or casserole over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic and cook until soft but not brown. Add fennel and cook a few minutes, until softened. Stir in chile flakes. Add tomatoes and salt, cover and cook on medium about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in wine and 2 1/2 cups water, bring to a simmer, add potatoes and cook another 6 minutes or so, until potatoes are tender. Check seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your stew. Choose fresh seafood, ripe tomatoes, and fragrant basil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the seafood, make sure to do it in batches so that the pieces don't steam and become rubbery. Give them enough space to brown properly.
  • Cook the seafood until it's just opaque: Overcooking seafood will make it tough and chewy. Cook it just until it's opaque and flaky.
  • Use a variety of seafood: Feel free to mix and match different types of seafood in your stew. Some good options include shrimp, mussels, clams, and scallops.
  • Add vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition: In addition to tomatoes, you can add other vegetables to your stew, such as onions, celery, carrots, or zucchini.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the backbone of your stew, so make sure to use a flavorful one. You can use seafood stock, chicken stock, or vegetable stock.
  • Season to taste: Don't forget to season your stew with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish your stew with fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or cilantro for an extra pop of flavor.

Conclusion:

Seafood stew with tomatoes and basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal.
