To accompany this simple, flavorful seafood stew, toast baguette slices, rub them with a raw garlic clove while still warm and brush them lightly with extra-virgin olive oil. The seafood you use for this dish is completely up to you. Try snapper, striped bass, clams, mussels and shelled, deveined shrimp, in any combination.

 

 

Directions:

  • In a dry fry pan over medium heat, toast the saffron until fragrant and a shade darker, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer to a bowl and crumble the threads.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
  • Add the onion, fennel and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add wine, cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the broth, tomatoes, potatoes, oregano, and saffron.
  • Reduce heat, so the mixture simmers, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the clams and mussels to the pan, cover and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add the fish, cover and simmer for 1 minute.
  • Add the shrimp, cover and simmer until all the clams and mussels have opened (discard any that do not open), and the shrimp and fish are cooked (opaque throughout), about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and ladle the stew into warmed bowls.
