I am a lover of stews, especially stews that combine potatoes and fish. I prepare them at any time of the year. East hake stew with potato and leek It is one of the simplest and the one that I most commonly incorporate into the weekly menu. I invite you to try it!
A simple list of ingredients and a suitable preparation make this stew a good alternative for everyday use. Like all stews, it takes time but is not very demanding. Preparing a good stir-fry is the base of this stew and we should not be in a hurry to do so. After that, your work is almost done.
