Good. I subbed bagged spinach for the kale because that's what I had on hand, and added it with the fish at the end. I also replaced the water with chicken stock for more flavor and body. I used 1 lb of fish (in chunks, stirred into the stew) and halved the rest of the ingredients, and that made a nice meal for 4. Seasoning the fish chunks with salt, pepper and pimentón was a good idea.
I substituted Clam Juice - two bottles and veggie broth for the water to make for a richer soup. Also had no chorizo but pancetta worked nicely. Oh - and I had some frozen shrimp which I defrosted and threw in as well - yummy and quick!
Thank you! Added chick peas and used vegetable stock. Delicious :)
Thought this delicious recipe must be of Portuguese origin. So little fanfare and no picture but, no matter it is excellent. Very aromatic and a bit of a spice from the chorizo makes this a very good choice. Can vary the fish as long as it is the white flakey type. Will definitely make again!
If you know some one well enough to “knock their socks off” this is the dish to do it with. Be generous with spices, red pepper flakes, by all means, “ Old Bay Seasoning” And you will neglect your calling if you don’t make a fresh fish stock. See, Mark Bittman on the subject. Fish heads are at the fish,monger.
