Preparation

  1. Instructions

    Step 1

    Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Cook shallots, garlic, and half of chiles, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 6–8 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, purée tomatillos in a blender until smooth.

    Step 3

    Add half of tomatillo purée to pot and cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup cilantro to remaining purée in blender and blend until smooth; set aside.

    Step 4

    Add cod, hominy, clam juice, and 1 cup water to pot. Bring to a simmer and gently cook over medium-low until cod is opaque throughout and beginning to flake, 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in reserved raw tomatillo-cilantro purée, breaking cod into large chunks; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 5

    Divide stew among bowls and top with radishes, cilantro, and remaining chile. Serve with lime wedges.
