During Winter we need a lot of nutrition to deal with the cold. As I have mentioned on numerous occasions, warming meals are a must for the colder months. Spices are a great way to add extra nutrients to our bodies. These will help to keep cold and flu away. Plus they add extra flavour to an already tasty dinner. We really enjoyed this dish and we hope you do too.

Spicy Fish Stew was a hit in this house. My husband Howard and son Ted was a hit. Ted, who is 10 actually enjoyed this dish as he now likes spice. I think his taste buds have changed in the past few months. The dish is freezable, apart from the rice, so you could make a big batch and freeze it for another occasion. I ate the leftovers for lunch the next day and they were still as tasty. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you. xxx
