This creamy fish stew is so hearty, and perfect with rice. With the convection function of the Anova Precision Oven, the fish cooks perfectly while holding its shape. Also, thanks to the even distribution of heat the stew cooks in a shorter time. It is cooked with some steam so the stew doesn't dry out. Feel free to use any firm white fish you can find.

2. Make The Stew Base

Place a cast iron braiser on medium heat (I used a 3.5 quarts pot). Pour in the oil and let it heat up. Add the onions and saute until translucent. Add the tomatoes and cook with the onions while stirring for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and stir well. Add in 1 cup of water, the remaining salt, chicken bouillon powder and the remaining white pepper. Stir well to combine. Add in 14 ounces coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add 2-3 cups chopped vegetables (bell peppers of various colors) and stir. Turn off the heat then add the lime juice and stir. Nestle the fish into the coconut sauce.
