Oven-roasted seafood stew

By Clement Pedro

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the tomato sauce:

4 T olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 t smoked chilli flakes
4 bay leaves
2 x 400 g cans whole unpeeled cherry tomatoes
1 T paprika
1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced (reserve the fronds)
1⁄4 cup sherry vinegar
10 g parsley, chopped, plus extra to garnish
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1⁄2 cup water
2 x 400 g Woolworths freshly frozen kingklip steaks, thawed
400 g Woolworths Patagonian squid tubes and tentacles, cleaned
1.2 kg fresh mussels, cleaned
800 g Woolworths frozen black tiger prawns
3 T olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Place the oil, garlic, chilli and bay leaves in a large ovenproof dish or saucepan over a medium heat. Cook until the garlic just begins to brown, then add the tomatoes and paprika.

2. Stir to combine and cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the oil takes on the colour of the paprika.

3. Add the fennel, vinegar, parsley, salt and pepper and water and stir. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.

4. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Add the seafood to the sauce, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt to taste.

5. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the prawns have turned bright orange and all the mussels
have opened. Discard any that don’t open.

6. Serve in the dish garnished with parsley.
