Description

This rich and creamy simple yet sexy fish and potato stew recipe includes leek, shallot, fennel, white wine, chicken broth, heavy cream, and tarragon.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 large leek, cleaned and thinly sliced
1/2 cup sliced shallots
salt
3/4 cup white wine
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 pound baby red potatoes, trimmed
1/2 cup thinly sliced fennel bulb
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 pound boneless rockfish filets, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Directions

1 Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add leek, shallots, and ½ teaspoon salt; cook and stir until softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
2 Stir in wine, increase heat to medium, and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken broth; bring to a simmer.
3 Add potatoes and fennel; simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nearly tender, about 10 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper; stir in cream to combine.
4 Stir in fish and tarragon; cover and cook for 3 minutes. Stir gently, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
