3/4 cup organic heavy cream
Salt and Pepper-to taste
1 1/2 - 2 lbs fresh Halibut cut into 1 inch squares

Crushed & Dried Red Pepper

Heat large pan on med. heat. Melt oil/butter in pan. Add Leek and cook for 2 minutes. Add garlic, tomato, carrots and 1 cup Chicken stock. Once simmering, let cook for 5 minutes. Pour in the rest of chicken stock and Quinoa. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Add milk, cream and salt and pepper to taste, then stir in Halibut.
