Spicy prawn and mussel stew with butter-toasted ciabatta

By Abigail Donnelly

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 T olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 T Woolworths ’nduja paste
1 x 400 g can chopped tomatoes
½ cup vegetable stock
300 g Woolworths frozen cooked shell-on large prawns, thawed
300 g Woolworths frozen mussels, thawed
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 loaf ciabatta, sliced
2 T butter
40 g Parmesan, shaved
celery leaves, dressed with lemon juice and olive oil

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Stir in the ’nduja paste and cook until fragrant.

2. Add the tomatoes and stock. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until slightly reduced. Add the prawns and mussels, cover and simmer gently until heated through, about 5–7 minutes. Season to taste.

3. Toast the ciabatta in the butter until golden. Serve the stew with the toasted ciabatta, Parmesan and celery leaves.

Cook’s note: You can use sourdough or baguette if ciabatta isn’t available – just don’t skip the toasting step!
