Total Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 7 Servings

Ingredients :

• Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 2 celery ribs, chopped
• Salt and pepper
• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• Pinch red pepper flakes
• 3/4 cup dry white wine
• 1 28-oz can whole peeled plum tomatoes, juice separated and reserved
• 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 2 tbsp capers, rinsed
• 2 lb skinless sea bass fillet, about 1 1/2-inch thick, cut into large cubes
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, stems removed
• 3 tbsp toasted pine nuts, optional
• Crusty Italian bread for serving

Instructions :

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in 5-quart Dutch oven (like this one) over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and a little salt and pepper (about 1/2 tsp each). Cook, stirring regularly, until softened (about 4 minutes). Add thyme, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook briefly until fragrant (about 30 more seconds).
• Now, stir in the white wine and reserved tomato juice from can. Bring to a simmer, and cook until the liquid is reduced by about 1/2. Add the tomatoes, vegetable broth, raisins, and capers. Cook for 15-20 minutes over medium heat until flavors combine.
• Pat the fish dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Insert the fish pieces into the cooking liquid, and give everything a gentle stir so that the fish pieces are nicely covered in the cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and cover. Let sit off heat for another 4-5 minutes so that the fish will finish cooking. Fish should be flaky when gently pulled apart with a paring knife. Finally, stir in the chopped parsley.
• Ladle the hot fish stew into serving bowls, top each with a few toasted pine nuts, if you like. Serve with your favourite crusty bread! Enjoy!
