Creamy Shellfish And Root Vegetable Stew Recipes

ANYTIME FISH AND SHELLFISH STEW

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.
• Stir in garlic, bay leaf, thyme, saffron and red pepper, and cook for 1 minute. Add wine and tomatoes, and simmer 1 minute. Add stock and bring to a slow boil over medium. 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. Taste broth - it should be well seasoned - and adjust as necessary. (You can do this up to an hour ahead of time.)
• As the broth simmers, add the clams, and cook for 5 minutes, covered with the lid ajar. Add cod and mussels on top, cover and cook until the mussels are done, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off heat, and let the stew steep for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mussels and clams open. Serve in wide soup bowls.

CREAMY SEAFOOD STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and celery until soft but not coloured, about 10 mins. Throw in the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the wine and simmer on a high heat until most has disappeared.
• Pour in the stock and cornflour mix and simmer for 5-10 mins, stirring often until thickened. Season, then add the seafood and most of the dill. Simmer for a few mins until piping hot, then stir in the crème fraîche.
• Meanwhile, cook the garlic bread following pack instructions. Divide the stew into warm bowls and scatter with the remaining dill. Serve with garlic bread for dipping into the stew.

THICK, HEARTY ROOT VEGETABLE VEGAN STEW

Steps:

• Peel all vegetables before starting recipe, putting shavings in a stock pot with 6c water and some salt-to-taste to make the stock (or use your stock of choice).
• Once the peeling is done, chop vegetables in order of need, which should kindof work with the cooking times. Heat oil in a large soup pan. add onions, carrots and celery. Cook at medium high heat for at least 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
• Add mushrooms. Cook another 10-20 minutes, stirring regularly. At the height of the mushrooms' releasing their moisture, add almond flour and cook 2-3 more minutes.
• Stir in cubed root vegetables, enough stock to cover them, herbs and salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
• Remove herb stems and bay leaf. Immersion blender for about 30 seconds (or take out 2 cups and use the blender). Taste test to adjust salt. Add swiss chard and white pepper to taste. simmer 10-20 minutes more.
• If you're not vegan, my husband loves adding parmesan cheese to the final product. He also adores swiss chard stems washed, cut, tossed in oil, sprinkled with parmesan and baked at 400 for 15-20 minutes.
