Simple Fish Stew with paprika

This is a recipe for a simple but very tasty fish stew. It is my brothers and my version of the recipe. Every ingredient is cheap easy to source. The preparation time is about 15-20 minutes depending on your cooking experience.

Ingredients(For a 5-6 liter pot)

You will need about 1.5 kg of fish filet for this recipe. I love to use pangasius, but it can be cod, haddock, salmon etc.

450g of onions

800g of potatoes

400g of mixed bell-peppers

250g of celery

250g of carrots

4 tablespoons of sweet red paprika powder, 2 tablespoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper

Cooking method

Heat the oil on high heat until it starts to smoke. Add onions and saute until they get "glassy", add the red paprika powder and cook together for about 2 minutes. Add a glass of water add salt and black pepper.  Add the rest of the ingredients and cook together for another 2 minutes. Top up the pot with cold water until it covers the ingredients inside. Bring up to boil and add the fish, -it can be frozen, but ideally, it has to be defrosted- bring up to boil. Reduce the heat to minimum and simmer for about 5 more minutes.  

Serving suggestion

I usually would buy some Gnocchi (Italian potato dumplings) and serve it with those. But it can be served with bread, pasta, cooked potatoes.
