- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 3/4 cups canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree
- 3 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 2 cups frozen baby lima beans
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 (10 ounce) fillets catfish fillets, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- In a large pot, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme, oregano, mustard, Tabasco sauce, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Add the wine and cook until almost evaporated, about 4 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Add the lima beans and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in the corn and simmer 4 minutes more. Add the catfish and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, bring back to a simmer, and cook until just done, about 2 minutes. Serve topped with the parsley.
