Method

1

Cut catfish fillets into 2-inch chunks. Dice onion, chop celery and garlic, and slice okra. Dice potato if using.

2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic; sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.

3

Stir in tomato paste and paprika; cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.

4

Pour in vegetable broth and add bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

5

Add potato (if using) and okra to the broth. Simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.

6

Gently place catfish chunks into the simmering broth. Cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

7

Remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
