Zuppa di Pesce Simplice (Simple Italian Fish Stew)

Zuppa di Pesce Simplice

(Simple Italian Fish Stew)
Recipe by Maria

When I was little, this was one of the only ways I would eat fish.  There's an unexpected ingredient - read on!

• Sauté one large onions and several cloves of garlic in olive oil

• add carrots and celery to taste (I added 4 of each)

• sauté until al dente

• add a box of Pomi chopped tomatoes (or organic chopped tomatoes)

• add sliced potatoes (8 small potatoes)

• When everything is tender, but not too, too soft I lay cod fish fillets on top of the whole mixture and then drizzle some of the broth over the fish. 

• Simmer until the fish is done... 

• Enjoy with a loaf of crusty bread. 

My mother used to add raisins... yes, raisins!  
It adds a sweetness that is soooo delicious!
(I use Trader Joe's organic raisins)

This is such a warm and delicious way to eat fish.  I'll bet you use the bread to soak up all the zuppa at the bottom of the bowl!
