Ingredients

1 lbs Fresh or frozen haddock, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons Olive or corn oil
1 medium Onion, chopped
2 carrots Finely chopped
1 stalk Celery, chopped (including leaves)
2 cloves Garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 can (28 oz) Italian plum tomatoes, undrained
1 cups Fish or vegetable stock
1/2 cups Dry white wine
1 cups Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme), chopped

Directions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Saut&# 195;Â© for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent.
3
Stir in the finely chopped garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
5
Add the canned plum tomatoes (undrained), fish stock, and half of the fresh herbs. Stir well to combine.
6
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7
Gently add the haddock chunks to the stew. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid.
8
Cover and cook on low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook.
9
Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10
Ladle into bowls and garnish with the remaining fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Note

If using frozen haddock, ensure it is fully thawed and patted dry before adding to the stew to prevent diluting the broth.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the stock with bottled clam juice.

Serve with garlic croutons or crusty bread to soak up the delicious tomato-herb broth.

This stew is best served fresh. If storing leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid breaking down the fish.
