The Hunger Games Fish Stew Recipe
The day before the Reaping in The Hunger Games, Katniss forages and fishes for a bunch of ingredients which include fish, greens and strawberries.
Her family uses them to make a stew: “The fish and greens are already cooking in a stew, but that will be for supper. We decide to save the strawberries and bakery bread for this evening’s meal, to make it special we say.”
To recreate that stew, we’ve used white fish like haddock, cod or halibut and adapted a recipe from Sarah Wilson. Serve this stew with crusty bread and a side of greens.
