Hey! wanna see what I made tonight for dinner? Yes you do! :) Even though it's 91 degrees outside right at this very moment, I decided to make... Fisherman's Stew!!!...via the Crock Pot O'Love. (recipe w/pictures follows) I know...pretty silly huh. Who wants soup on a hot summer day? I did!!
Here's the stuff for it:
1-28oz can of chopped, peeled tomatoes
1- 6oz. can Tomato Paste
2 cups water
2 cups dry white wine
1 medium onion chopped
1 medium green bell pepper (I left it out of mine because Kip can't deal them...)
3 celery ribs, chopped
2 garlic cloves (crushed through a press)
2 teas. dried basil
1 teas. dried thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
1/2 teas. salt and pepper
---------------------
Pinch of sugar
1/2 pound shelled and devined raw medium shrimp
1/2 pound small scallops
1 lb. halibut steak, skinned, boned and cut into 3/4" chunks
1 (4oz) can or jar mushroom stems and pieces or sliced mushrooms, rinsed and drained. **I used fresh mushrooms)
3 T Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Put the first 12 ingredients into a large bowl, mix and dump into a crock pot.
Cook on low for 6 hours.
After the 6 hours is up, turn the crock pot to low, remove the bayleaf and add the pinch of sugar, the fish, stir and cover.
Ok. gang...I started my recipe a little late today so to hurry things along a bit during the last 30 mins. instead of using the crockpot on high...I transferred everything to a big pot on the stove and simmered it for 20 mins. It worked beautifully. :)
Here's the finished dish. Next time I will have some garlic bread with it too. Kip said it was awesome! (yea me)
Have a great Sunday night all!
Bon Appetit!--Lo**
Oooooh! The magic crock pot-o-love does it again!!!! God that looks good! Hey can I just steal that shrimpie sitting toward the edge of the bowl on that last picture?....I promise you won't miss it. :)

Posted by: amErika on July 12, 2004 01:42 AMI think that sounds like a perfect summer meal. Did you have sour dough bread slices with it? Sweeet!
Posted by: liljiffy on July 12, 2004 10:45 AMIs that bowl you use to blend all of your fine ingredients in, plastic or ceramic or marble or corion or granite or bakelite or what? I like it.
Posted by: liljiffy on July 12, 2004 10:49 AMHi all! Glad you liked the recipe.
Yes Joe, you can have that shrimpie :)
Thanks Erikie and Jenn... and Jenn that mixing bowl is plastic. It's a TexasWare bowl--- I collect them :) 9Is there something I don't collect?) The more colorful and speckled the more expensive they seem to be. I'll have to show you guys my collection someday. I know a weird thing to collect Huh? I use them everyday.
