Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan; when it shimmers add the parsley, pepper flakes, and celery and cook until the celery begins to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook until the garlic softens. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, and pepper.

Lower the heat to simmer and add the fish. Cook slowly, covered for 5 to 8 minutes or just until the fish easily flakes with a fork. Place a slice of bread in individual soup bowls and ladle the fish stew over the top. Pass olive oil to drizzle on top.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
