Directions: 
  1. Preheat roaster on medium heat. When several drops of water sprinkled in roaster skitter and dissipate, approximately 5 - 7 minutes, add onions, celery, carrots and garlic. Sauté for 6 - 8 minutes until onions are softened.
  2. Add white wine and cook for 6 - 8 minutes until wine reduces slightly.
  3. Add tomato paste, potatoes and stock. Cover.
  4. When Vapo-Valve™ clicks steadily, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 - 40 minutes until the potatoes are soft and cooked.
  5. Add fish, shrimp and chopped tomatoes. Cover and cook for an additional 5 - 10 minutes, just until fish is cooked.
  6. Taste fish stew and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  7. Serve fish stew topped with chopped parsley and chives.
Tips: 
  • Substitute fish stock for vegetable or chicken stock.
  • Serve fish stew with hearty grain bread and butter, if desired.
  • Substitute chives and fresh parsley for other fresh herbs, such as thyme, basil or cilantro.
  • Add in 1 - 2 cups of cream at the end of cooking for a very rich stew.
