Italian Fish Stew

I ate this dish at a Lygon Street Restaurant.  It is very easy to make and an excellent dish to prepare for dinner guests.  The base can be prepared ahead and the fish added at the last minute. It is served with grilled bread, to soak up the sauce.  Leftovers can be added to pasta for an additional meal.


Serves 6
Ingredients
1 leek or 1 large onion
4 large cloves of garlic

1 small green capsicum pepper, diced
3 sticks of celery cut on the diagonal
12  small Chat potatoes, or 6 large cut in half.
800g tin of Italian diced tomatoes.
