🦋 Fried Catfish Stew

Dinner tonight was popular with the family.

  • 4 medium-size yellow onions, chopped
  • A few carrots, chopped
  • 6 smallish red potatoes, diced
  • 2 heads of broccoli, cut into florets
  • Canola oil
  • Cheap white wine
  • 3 filets of catfish
  • Flour, salt, pepper

The stew

Fry the salted onions in a tablespoon of oil, in a stew pot. Add the carrots and potatoes. When everything is sizzling and wet, pour in some wine, lower the heat and cover. Cook over low heat about 20 or 30 minutes, stirring occasionally; toward the end when the potatoes are starting to soften up, add the broccoli. (I added it too soon and it got a little overcooked.)

The fish

While the stew is simmering, heat some oil in a skillet and mix flour with salt and pepper on a plate. Dredge the filets (you may want to cut them in half for easier handling). When the oil is hot, start frying the fish -- you will need to do it in shifts. Drain the cooked filets on a paper towel.

When everything is ready, cut up or tear up the fried fish and toss it in with the vegetables, and serve.
