Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole.
Add the onion, leek and garlic, cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.
Add the wine and cook until almost evaporated, about 3 minutes.
Add the squash, Swiss chard, red and yellow bell peppers, fennel seeds, thyme and crushed red pepper. Season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper, cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender, about 15 minutes.
Spread half of the vegetable stew in an 8-by-11-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Season the halibut with salt and pepper and nestle the fillets in the stew; cover with the remaining vegetables.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the halibut is just cooked through.
Sprinkle with the basil and serve.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Halibut on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford Pinot Grigio with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
