Fish and Yuca Stew with Pickled Onions

This vibrant fish and yuca stew is a nourishing, high-protein dish inspired by traditional coastal flavours. The recipe combines meaty white fish, such as tuna or mackerel, with the earthy, satisfying texture of yuca, all brought together in a light tomato and cumin-scented broth. The contrast between the warm, savoury stew and the bright, zesty pickled onions provides a professional finish that elevates the entire meal.

Perfect for a wholesome midweek dinner, this one-pot style dish is both comforting and naturally lean. By using fresh lime juice and coriander, the flavours remain clean and punchy, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a healthy yet filling meal. Serve in large warmed bowls with extra lime wedges on the side to allow everyone to adjust the acidity to their liking.

Ingredients for Fish and Yuca Stew with Pickled Onions

  • 675g fresh or frozen yuca (1 large), cut crosswise into 2-inch sections for pickled onions

  • 1 medium red onion, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced

  • 60ml fresh lime juice

  • 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 725ml water

  • 450g tomatoes, coarsely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander

  • 1 cucchiaino di cumino macinato

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 900g skinless tuna, bluefish, or mackerel fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • Accompaniment: lime wedges

  • Garnish: chopped fresh coriander

If using fresh yuca, remove peel and pink flesh using a vegetable peeler. Cover fresh or frozen yuca with salted cold water in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, until yuca begins to split, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer yuca with a slotted spoon to a cutting board, reserving water in pan. Cut into 1-inch wedges, pulling out and discarding tough core. Return yuca to cooking water and simmer, covered, until tender and completely translucent, 15 to 25 minutes more.

Cover onion with boiling-hot water in a heatproof bowl and let stand 15 minutes. Drain onion and return to bowl. Add lime juice and salt, tossing to coat, and let stand at least 5 minutes before serving.

Bring water, tomatoes, coriander, cumin, and 3/4 teaspoons salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Toss fish with remaining 3/4 teaspoons salt and stir into broth. Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until fish is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. 3Drain yuca and divide among 4 large soup bowls. Ladle fish stew over yuca and top with some of pickled onions.
