Description
Crazy Water is a traditional Italian dish featuring poached fish in a flavorful broth made with tomatoes, garlic, and white wine.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and white wine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully place the fish fillets into the skillet, spooning some of the tomato broth over the top. Cover the skillet and let the fish poach for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve the fish with the broth and lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a heartier dish, serve the poached fish over cooked quinoa or rice.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking for extra greens and nutrients.
