South Carolina Catfish Stew

When I was living in South Carolina, catfish stew was a popular dish. This is a delicious spicy, tomato-based stew with bacon and potatoes and onions and spices. It is very simple to make and so good to eat. My husband and I would keep the pot on the stove all day and take multiple trips into the kitchen for refills. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed tomato soup

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can water

  • 1 cup ketchup

  • 1 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's® RedHot)

  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon browning sauce

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 12 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces, or more to taste

  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 pounds catfish fillets

Directions

  1. Combine condensed soup, water, ketchup, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, butter, and browning sauce in a stockpot over medium heat. Add potatoes, bacon, and onion. Season with thyme, chili powder, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.

  2. Meanwhile, rinse catfish and pat dry. Cut into bite-sized pieces and add to the stockpot. Reduce heat to a simmering boil and cook, covered or uncovered, until onions and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.

Cook’s Note

If you like yours with more liquid like I do, double the liquids and the spices. You can use two cans of diced potatoes instead of the fresh potatoes.

The longer your stew simmers, the better it usually is, but I don't have to tell you that!

Dal Makhani (Indian Lentils)

Dal Makhani (Indian Lentils)

Ever go to an Indian restaurant and wonder how they make those lentils? I hated lentils before I discovered Indian food. Then I scoured the internet to figure out how they achieved them, and through mixing and matching recipes and methods on videos, I've arrived at this recipe, which I think is pretty close. This version is very rich, but you can leave out the cream to make it lighter. Kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves) is almost impossible to find in the U.S., even in NYC, but it gives this dish something very special.
