Method
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 0.5 cm slices. Cut the squid into rings and the hake fillets into wide pieces, about 6 cm.
- In a wide pot, build the layers in this order: sliced onion, potato, sliced tomato, pepper in strips, the squid and, on top of everything, the hake fillets.
- Season each layer with chopped garlic, bay leaf, salt and a thread of olive oil.
- Pour over the white wine and about 150 ml of water — the liquid should reach two thirds of the way up the layers, without covering them.
- Cover and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, shaking the pot now and then and never stirring, until the potato gives to a knife and the fish flakes.
- Finish with chopped coriander and serve straight from the pot.
Shopping tip
Do not stir the fish stew: shake the pot so the fish does not fall apart. A splash of white wine deepens the flavour.
