Eric's Fish Stew


This is my fish stew. It conforms to "The Zone" proportions of 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat. The picture shows about 3 servings, which is equivalent to 3 Zone blocks.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
  • 1 Yam - peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 Small onion - chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 lb Spinach - chopped
  • 10 oz Asparagus - cut into 3 inch lengths.
  • 1/2 Can Coconut Milk 7oz.
  • 1 Can Diced Tomatoes 14oz.
  • 1 lb Fish - filleted, rinsed and cut into 1 inch strips
  • 4 oz Scallops
  • 8 oz Shrimp
  • 1 Lemon - juiced
  • 1 tsp Tuscan spices -or- 1/4 tsp ea. dried basil, rosemary, garlic powder, paprika
For the Fish I used Pacific Cod, but any flaky, white fish could be substituted. I used 31-40 count cooked frozen Shrimp.

Heat the olive oil in a 5Qt pot. Saute, medium heat, the onion and yam until the onion is translucent. about 5 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, spices and simmer, covered for 10 minutes.

Add the spinach, asparagus and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Add fish and scallops, simmer for an additional 7 minutes.

Add frozen (cooked) shrimp and heat until shrimp is heated through.

Add Lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste.

Makes approximately 20 Servings.
