This Stew is Loaded with Veggies and Fresh Cod
The best part about this Spanish Cod and Potato Stew Recipe is all the awesome fresh ingredients that it uses. Beginning with the almighty leek, one of my favorite veggies ever. It also uses garlic, onions, red bell pepper and potatoes. The star of the dish is cod, I used a beautiful 12 ounce fresh fillet, but you can also use a frozen one, just dethaw it with plenty of time and soak all the water out of it with paper towels.

Making this tonight but doubled the recipe. Subbed the leek for spring onions (div. in half) so not to overwhelm. Subbed yellow onion for red (that’s what I had), increased potatoes to serve more, and subbed fish broth for chicken. Waiting for it to simmer for my cod but so far, looking and smelling delicious. Also had to sub white wine for rose because…it’s what I had. And added some fennel because why the hell not at this point?
