Summer Fish Stew

Cultural Context

Originating from coastal regions of France, Summer Fish Stew, or Bouillabaisse, was traditionally made by fishermen using the catch of the day. This dish highlights the bounty of the sea, often served with a side of rouille and crusty bread. Today, variations abound globally, with each culture adding its unique twist, making it a beloved dish for summer gatherings.

1

Heat a Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.

2

Roughly chop green onions and add them to the pot to soften.

3

Chop up overripe tomatoes and add them to the pot.

4

Add about a teaspoon of salt to the tomatoes.

5

Pour in a splash of white wine (optional) and stir.

6

Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

7

Chop up a generous amount of olives and add them to the pot along with half a jar of capers.

8

Remove the lid and let the mixture simmer for a few more minutes to concentrate the flavors.

9

Turn down the heat to medium and add the thick pieces of fish to the pot first, then cover with a lid.

10

After about 3 minutes, add the thin piece of fish to the pot.

11

Simmer the fish for about 5 minutes, checking for doneness by poking a knife into the fish.

12

If the knife goes in easily with no resistance, the fish is done.

13

Squeeze a little lemon juice over the finished dish before serving.
