👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the fish: Wash and pat dry the fish fillets. Cut them into medium-sized chunks and set aside.
2
Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add vegetables and spices: Add the diced carrots and bell pepper to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, and chili flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add tomatoes and broth: Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Pour in the fish or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
5
Simmer the stew: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender and flavors to meld.
6
Cook the fish: Gently add the fish chunks to the simmering stew. Ensure they are mostly submerged. Cover and cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
💡 전문가 팁: Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry.
7
Finish and serve: Stir in the lemon juice. Remove the bay leaf. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the hot stew into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
