over selling.... oh so many things are enthusiastically oversold


4 sticks celery
2 medium onion fine chopped
1kg (approx ) tomatoes
Pkt dill ( or dried )
2 lemons
Chorizo ; optional
Around 500 grams fish

Honestly delicious and for me no worry about spikes

: chop veg into slow cooker for around 4 hours. - it matures into a delicious blend - add a little water if it’s too thick.

Add fish. I now use salmon( wild salmon from Iceland £11 per pack ) but a mix is ok too

Add cherizo sausage and pepper and salt

Add dill

Another hour passes

Just before serving add juice from 2 lemons

Tinned tomatoes can be used but imho fresh is best

Looks and sounds tasty and easy, and easily adjusted as well if you happen to have some other veggies laying about and needing used up!

For me this is tried and tested for many years now. - I’ve simplified it over that time as for me it has to be straight forward as life can be anything but
 
I almost forgot. If you can tolerate a few extra carbs ( sadly I don’t these days ) the addition of a tin of butter beans is a fab addition and extension of this dish
 
Sounds good but I'd hold back adding the fish until the last 5 minutes or so.

Hiyah! Yeah, we’re into the 4th hour. I was wandering if the extra fish-hour was to impart any fish flavour? Maybe not. Chorizo, dill are chopped. Fish has been cut up into various sizes.

At present the Ragu-ish sauce is delicious.

I’ve been using frozen fish. If it’s fresh it needs less time. Maybe just 10-15 mins

When it’s cooked it breaks up easily with a wooden spoon !

Sure. Fresh fish here. And gently turning over, and yes, needed to add a dash of water. The sauce is seriously delicious.
 
I call this a “chowder.”

My wife knocks something like this together.. Yep, chorizo. It goes in with ours.

It’s great.! As a T1. I can handle this very well. (No mad spikes or plateaus.)
 
Come to think of it. We hammered out something similar a fair while back on a break in a fishing town.. in an "air B&B. Too.. with some sort of "monk fish?"

OMG! So many layers of flavour. Two large bowls and we're gonna freeze the balance. Great midweek meals.

Thanks @OrsonKartt!

Pleasure. ! And yes it does freeze well. I think the recipe feeds the two of us here on 4 occasions. ( or of course could feed 8 people in one sitting )
 
Sounds delicious. I can't handle the butter beans unfortunately and, at this time of year, it will have to be canned tomatoes, but I'll give it a go. Thank you.
 
No butter beans or anything else than the recipe. The Chorizo made it zing along. Four portions left over for Mr Bosch.
