Fish Stew with Coconut Milk

This is a great stew to make through the week since it doesn’t take very long. It is also good to incorporate fish into your diet and this is a great way to eat delicious fish in a delicious stew! I served it with some forbidden rice- recipe coming tomorrow…

  • 1 to 1½ pounds filets of firm white fish, cut into large fillets
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Marinate fish with the garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Keep aside for about half an hour.

  • Salt

Add the oil to a large saucepan. Add the onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes on medium heat. Add the green onion and red pepper and sauté for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and smoked paprika. Saute for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the cilantro and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Seafood Sausage and Spinach Pasta

Seafood Sausage and Spinach Pasta I noticed these seafood sausages in Trader Joes the other day. I was very fascinated and picked them up right away. I like to have some interesting things in my freezer for when I am in a rush.

I was busy packing for our trip and wasn’t planning on cooking- but then the sausages came to mind. I thought I could make a simple pasta using another staple in my freezer- chopped spinach. I think fresh baby spinach will look a lot nicer in this pasta but I didn’t have the time nor inclination to go to the market for fresh ingredients. I did have fresh thyme in my backyard- I added that.

I sauteed the sausages in some olive oil and garlic and then added the frozen spinach. I cooked some spinach and chive linguini- which I also got from Trader Joes- I just love that store. I added the al dente pasta to my pan and topped it with lots of fresh parmigiano reggiano cheese. That’s it- it was that simple.

The dish was delicious, quick and easy. It took me all of 20 minutes to put it together.  I love having such ingredients around to be able to whip up a meal in no time. Now lets see if my husband will notice it has no red sauce!!!

  • 4 seafood sausages, cut into 1 inch rounds
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach or 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Salt
  • ½ cup Parmigiano Reggiano, freshly grated
  • ½ pound pasta- I used spinach and chives linguine, cooked al dente with ½ cup pasta water set aside

In a wide frying pan, heat the olive oil and add the garlic. Cook for a minute on medium heat and add the sausages. Brown the sausages on medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Add the spinach and thyme and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the cooked pasta and the spare pasta water. Mix well and add the cheese and check for seasonings. Add salt and serve.
