This Spanish Cod and Potato Stew Recipe is the answer to a seafood stew that´s loaded with incredible flavor and easy to make. This stew is naturally gluten-free and has a bunch of health benefits to it, plus it´s done in under 1 hour, talk about the perfect meal. I usually like to enjoy this cod and potato stew during the cold months, as it always seems to warm me up, but I actually make it throughout the entire year (okay…..maybe except for summer 🙂 ).

This Stew is Loaded with Veggies and Fresh Cod

The best part about this Spanish Cod and Potato Stew Recipe is all the awesome fresh ingredients that it uses. Beginning with the almighty leek, one of my favorite veggies ever. It also uses garlic, onions, red bell pepper and potatoes. The star of the dish is cod, I used a beautiful 12 ounce fresh fillet, but you can also use a frozen one, just dethaw it with plenty of time and soak all the water out of it with paper towels.

    Making this tonight but doubled the recipe. Subbed the leek for spring onions (div. in half) so not to overwhelm. Subbed yellow onion for red (that’s what I had), increased potatoes to serve more, and subbed fish broth for chicken. Waiting for it to simmer for my cod but so far, looking and smelling delicious. Also had to sub white wine for rose because…it’s what I had. And added some fennel because why the hell not at this point?

    That’s so funny! I just had this a few days ago, made by my mother in law. It’s really good, and packed with veggies.
