Instructions

Prep ingredients

1 Prep ingredients

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/200°C.
  • Slice the fish into small bite-sized pieces.
  • Zest and slice the lemon into wedges.
  • Squeeze some juice and sprinkle the zest over the fish.
  • Peel and finely chop the onion.
  • Peel and chop the potatoes into small bite-sized pieces.
  • Trim the bottom of the fennel. Discard any hard woody parts, then finely slice.
Start stew

2 Start stew

  • Heat a large pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Once hot, add the onion and fennel with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Fry for 6-8 min until softened.
  • Add the fennel seeds, a pinch of chilli flakes (spicy!).
  • Stir for 1 min until fragrant.
Simmer stew

3 Simmer stew

  • Add the tomato paste.
  • Fry for 1 min further.
  • Open the can of peeled plum tomatoes and using a fork (or clean hands), gently crush them into the pot.
  • Add the stock cube and measured water and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add the potatoes, and sprigs of thyme.
  • Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium.
  • Simmer for 15-18 min until the potatoes are fork-tender and fully cooked through.
Bake Ciabbata

4 Bake Ciabbata

  • Meanwhile, pick and finely chop the parsley.
  • Peel and finely chop the garlic.
  • In a small bowl combine the butter, garlic, a good drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of black pepper, and the parsley (reserving some for garnish).
  • Slice the ciabatta in half and spread the mixture on top.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-12 min until golden brown.
  • Once golden, remove from the oven and set aside to crisp.
Add fish

5 Add fish

  • Remove and discard the sprigs of thyme from the soup.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, turn down the heat to low and add the fish.
  • Gently cook for 2-3 min until it's fully cooked through.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon to finish.
Tip! If the potatoes absorbed a lot water, adjust the consistency of the stew by adding another 1 cup of water prior to adding the fish.

  • Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
