New England Halibut Stew
from William Sonoma's One Pot of the Day (2012)
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 oz thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 2 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 3/4 lb small red potatoes, chopped
- 3 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth or bottled clam juice
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/2 lb halibut fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
- salt and freshly ground pepper
DIRECTIONS:
- In a large, heavy pot, saute the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes to the pot, raise the heat to medium-high, and saute about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the thyme. Add the broth, cream, and wine and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the reserved bacon.
- Add the fish, cover, and cook until the fish is opaque throughout and the vegetables are tender, 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish the stew with the remaining 1 tablespoon thyme and serve.
