Caldeirada

Portuguese flavors, weeknight effort. Mixed fish meets potatoes in a 55-minute dinner worth keeping in rotation. At 291 calories and 4g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 2 lb Mixed fish
• 1.5 lb Potatoes
• 2 Onion
• 4 Tomatoes
• 2 Bell peppers
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup White wine
• 1/3 cup Olive oil
• 2 Bay leaf

Steps

1. Layer the pot: onions, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, then the firmest fish on top — layers, never stirred.
2. Tuck in garlic, bay, and pour over the wine and olive oil; season each layer as you build.
3. Cover and cook on medium 25 minutes; the vegetables release enough liquid to make their own broth.
4. Add the most delicate fish for the last 8 minutes so nothing overcooks.
5. Rest 5 minutes off the heat; the broth will be sweet, briny, and clear.
6. Serve in deep bowls with the broth ladled over; fishermen eat it with a spoon and bread.
