Chef Muller refers to his cuisine as “La Comida de las Sierras” or food of the mountains. His menu is composed of regionally inspired comfort food, incorporating local New Mexican ingredients such as wild mushrooms, corn and chilies. For this rustic fish stew, he combines sausages, garbanzos, Yukon Gold potatoes, fennel and fish, expertly seasoned with garlic, oregano, saffron and basil.
