    Great recipe. Meal prep took a little longer than anticipated, but perhaps because I doubled the recipe for more than 1 serving. Thank you!

    Took a really long time to make. More like an hour than the estimated time. Was hoping to make it quick before bed. Just going to have to drink alot of coffee tomorrow.

    This was so good. First time using the stew setting so there was a bit if a learning curve. I increased the serving size to 4 in a 6 quart pot (very full- do not recommend) I saved a step and put the shrimp and thawed fish in together for 8 minutes and was fantastic. The fish was moist and flaky. Used canned plum tomatoes from Traders Joes. They have a little basil in them. The key is the fresh herbs at the end. We slurped through seconds and thirds.

    Good, although I used the liquid from canned clams for fish stock (added clams at the end of steam release) and also acan of diced stewed tomatoes, replaced cilantro with dried thyme.

    I made some notes for the next time. First, the cod disappeared and the potatoes were totally overcooked and mushy. Next time, white or red potatoes, more seasoning and less cooking time. I think just adding all the ingredients in after sauteeing the onions and garlic and cooking for about 8 minutes will do the trick. Adding the shrimp for 5 minutes in the hot liquid was perfect.

    Only the second meal I’ve cooked in my IP. Having read the other reviews (thanks, by the way) I modified this for four. I used one large onion; 3 cloves of smoked garlic; a whole red and green pepper; 2 large potstoes cut into 4; 2 fish stock cubes with a mug of hot water. One can of chopped tomatoes. Having sauted I added all the prepared ingedients and the fish, and used the “Meat Stew” setting. I cooked it for 8 mins and released the steam quickly. Delicious! Next time I’ll rake it down to 7.

    Hi Melon@01,

    You can modify the serving amount by clicking the arrows beside the serving size. It will automatically adjust all recipe ingredients.

    This stew is amazing and yielded at least 5 servings (still working on the leftovers) i think the only changes i made were to just use a green pepper instead of two halves of different kinds, tilapia, and more potatoes just because we had a few i needed to get rid of. It isn’t overly fishy and I know we’ll make this again!

    This was delicious! My family loved it! Doubled the recipe and added bay scallops along with some tarragon and a smidge of crushed red pepper. ❤️

    Very flavorful! 1 serving was enough, could be served for two. Would be good with a side of sliced sourdough bread. I didnt make it with the shrimp though due to allergy.

    Added some spicy crushed peppers when cooking and a little fresh basil on top at the end– it was so good!
