Low FODMAP Dutch Oven Portuguese Fish Stew (Caldeirada)

Here’s a simple low FODMAP diet recipe inspired by the traditional Portuguese fish stew “Caldeirada”, which consists of a variety of fish, shellfish, and potatoes, along with a few other store cupboard staples. It’s rustic and light and the smokey chorizo and sweet paprika bring a lovely depth to this fragrant fish stew. This low FODMAP dutch oven recipe is very versatile when selecting what fish to use. This dish calls for pollock and salmon, but you can also use trout or any unsmoked meaty white fish like haddock, cod, sea bass, halibut, and/or monkfish. Just ensure the chunks are quite big so they don't fall apart in the sauce as it cooks. A mixture of shellfish also adds to the flavors of this dish, king prawns, squid rings, scallops are used but feel free to add as much or as little as you like.

This low FODMAP recipe serves 6 as a main or 8 as a starter and can be made in just 30 minutes!

Can I adapt this recipe for other diets?

This dish is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, but you can make this recipe pescatarian-friendly by omitting the chorizo. This dish can also be made low-carb by replacing the potatoes with carrots, rutabaga, or cauliflower heads, however, please note that cauliflower is not low-FODMAP.

How to store this fish stew?

Allow the stew to cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the fridge and consume within 5 days.
