Portuguese Fisherman's Stew Recipe

In a large soup pot, cook onions and garlic in margarine until onions are transparent, about 5 minutes. Add beans, 2 quarts water, bay leaves, chicken stock, tomatoes and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

In a separate skillet, simmer fish in lemon juice and 1/2 cup water until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5-10 minutes.

Drain lemon water; add fish to stew and heat thoroughly before serving.
