- In a Dutch oven, warm the Tuscan Herb olive oil over low heat. Add onions, leeks, a good pinch of salt and pepper and sauté until beginning to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add tomatoes, stock, and beans. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer for 10 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, remove ½ cup of beans with a little broth and place in a small bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth and return to pot. Stir to combine.
Add vegetables, herbs, ½ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. pepper and olives. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add fish, without stirring into the stew, and continue to simmer until fish is cooked, 5-8 minutes depending upon thickness of fish.
Ladle stew into bowls and, if desired, add a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a drizzle of Tuscan Herb olive oil and serve with warm, crusty bread. Enjoy!
