Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish fillets such as cod or tilapia, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors deepen overnight. Make-Ahead: Prepare the stew base (steps 1-3) up to 2 days ahead. Add the fish and lime juice just before serving for best texture. Substitutions: Use vegetable broth and omit fish for a vegetarian version (add extra vegetables like zucchini). For a spicier stew, add 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper with the other spices. Serving Suggestion: Serve over quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
