A healthy and delicious monkfish stew is just the dish to serve during the colder winter months. Combined with a side of warm, toasted bread, this is a simple and delicious recipe that will warm everyone's stomachs and hearts.

Directions:

1. In a large stock pot over medium-high heat, heat up some olive oil and add the onion, red pepper strips, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Don't forget to stir occasionally.

2. Add rosemary, paprika and bay leaf. Cook for 1 minute, then add the white wine. Increase heat, and bring the liquid to a boil. Simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.

3. Add tomatoes, water and the saffron threads, and bring mixture to boil. Cover the pot, and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

4. Add almonds, and let cook until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Add the monkfish and salt and pepper to season. Cook until fish is thoroughly cooked, about 3 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
