Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 shallots, chopped

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 serrano chiles, thinly sliced, divided

8 medium tomatillos (about 1 1/4 pounds), husks removed, rinsed

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems, plus more for serving

1 pound cod fillet

1 (15-ounce) can white hominy, rinsed

1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice

3 small radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced

Lime wedges (for serving)

Preparation

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.
