Fish Stew

A large pot

Through my friends on Face Book, what you're not on it yet, what a shame you don't know what you miss, I got a standard recipe for making a fish stew. When I read to put grated cheese on top, I had my doubts and looked further on the internet, however, most of the fish stews were with grated cheese and it was delicious! The nices thing of this recipe is that you can actually choose your fish and make it as expensive if you wish. Of course I gave my own twist to it and here it is.

For 4/5 persons:

Cut the vegetables into large pieces

Fry the onions in a little oil, once they turn brown the rest of the vegetables there, just to warm up, not too overcooked, because it needs to go in the oven!

Just
heat through until the cubes are solved by a pepper and salt if necessary. (usually not necessary)

Cut the fish into cubes of about 2x2 cm divide among 4/5 small ramekins (a large scale can also, en famille)
