Smoky Haddock & Leek Stew

Prep & Cook Time: 20 minutes
SERVES: 4
Ingredients

2 large leeks, trimmed

3 tbsp butter

1 tbsp chopped thyme

1 ½ tsp salt

¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp lemon zest

2 cups heavy cream

¼ tsp smoked paprika

2 cloves garlic, finely grated on a rasp

1 ½ lbs Rock Harbour fresh haddock filets

Chopped parsley & croutons, preferably homemade, to serve

Directions

Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Run under cool water to clean, being sure to rinse between the layers. Cut crosswise into ½-inch slices.

Set a large pot over medium heat. Melt butter, add leeks, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook 4 minutes, stirring from time to time. Pour 2 cups water over top, cover and simmer 8 minutes or until leeks are very tender.

Add lemon zest, cream, paprika, and garlic. Let boil 2 minutes to marry flavours.

Meanwhile, cut fish into generous bite-size chunks.

Nestle fish into cream. Simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 3 minutes longer. Divide between 4 bowls. Serve each with a sprinkling of parsley and a handful of croutons.
