Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

If serving your meal with crusty bread, preheat the oven to 180°C fan and once hot, cook the bread according to the packet instructions.

Step 2

Make the fish stock and add the saffron. Leave to steep while you half the baby plum tomatoes and chop the spring onions and garlic.

Step 3

Add the oil to a wide-based pan. Turn the heat to medium and add the chopped garlic and spring onions. Cook for 1 minute before adding the plum tomatoes Cook for a further 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to release their juices. Add the wine (or Vermouth) and the saffron fish stock, turn up the heat to high and reduce by half (this will take another 5 minutes)

Step 4

Add the tinned tomatoes, season with salt, pepper, sugar and balsamic. Bring to a boil before adding the frozen seafood. Allow to boil once again and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and hot.

Step 5

Remove the bread from the oven (if using). Garnish the stew with the chopped tarragon and serve with the bread and lots of butter, sprinkled with a little sea salt.
