stew & snow


from warm and sunny friday to snow and sleet today, east coast weather is so confusing! it's a good day to stay inside, read a book with a cup of tea and make a pot of this hearty warming fish stew. it's light and healthy while still being satisfying. and it's versatile - throw in whatever combinations of vegetables, beans, grains and fish you have on hand.

check out this article i worked on for the nest with a few other members of the big leo family. did you see the beet detox spread our friend jen, shot for the new issue of rue - it's beautiful! ready for a fun weekend in boston to celebrate a great friend's birthday - including a wine tasting event here.

Cod & White Bean Stew
serves 2

1 tbs olive oil
3 leeks, white and light green parts, sliced and cleaned well
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 can cannellini beans, rinsed
2 cups chicken stock
1 small bunch thyme
8 oz cod, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 tbs chopped parsley
salt & pepper

heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium high heat. add leeks saute for 5 minutes or until they begin to soften. add celery and garlic and saute a few minutes more. add tomatoes, beans, stock and thyme and bring to a boil. reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender and warmed. add cod and simmer 5 to 8 minutes or until white and flaky. remove from heat, stir in parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. enjoy!

I love adding fresh thyme to stews. It adds so much flavor.

It is raining so hard in my neck of the woods that all I can think of is soups and stews! I Love how versatile your recipe is.

mm I always need a new soup recipe :) Midwest weather is a bit confused too; I was wearing shorts one day, and a downy coat the next.

After an upsidedown morning, the sight of that stew and the possibility of eating it is so calming :0) xx
