Cooking Fish Caldeirada de peixe (Portuguese fish stew)

Somewhere between a soup and a stew, this one-pot wonder features mouth-watering layers of potato, fish and shellfish.

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, capsicum and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the onion is soft. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for a further 10 minutes.
  2. Add the potato, tomato, wine, bay leaves and peppercorns to the onion mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 12 minutes or until the potato is just tender.
  3. Arrange the swordfish and ling pieces evenly on top of the onion mixture. Top with the prawns and mussels. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the mussels open. Discard any unopened mussels.
  4. Rub the cut sides of the extra garlic over 1 side of the toasts. Divide the fish mixture among serving dishes. Sprinkle with the coriander and serve with the garlic toasts.
