Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the white wine to the pot and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
Add the diced tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes to the pot. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the fish or vegetable broth, paprika, dried oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Gently add the chunks of congrio fish to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the broth. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot and taste the stew. Adjust the seasonings if needed.
Serve the Caldillo de congrio hot, garnished with fresh parsley. You can enjoy it with rice or crusty bread on the side.
