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

  1. 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.
  2. Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and white wine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
