Tomato-Saffron Fish Stew image

This is so very good that I eat it slowly trying to make it last! It's not a bad time consumer but not one that you can knock out in 15 mins either. Take your time and enjoy making this.

Provided by Annacia

Categories     Stew

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 orange
28 ounces undrained canned tomatoes
4 cups water
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried saffron thread
4 minced garlic cloves or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cold water
1 lb salmon (or frozen or a mixture fish) or 1 lb cod (or frozen or a mixture fish)
1/2 lb lobsters or 1/2 lb scallops
1 lb mussels or 1 lb clam, in the shell
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Slice a piece of orange peel about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide and the length of one side of an orange. Briefly whirl tomatoes and juice in a food processor or blender, just until broken up, but not puréed.
  • In a large saucepan or soup pot, stir tomatoes with 4 cups (1 L) water, bay leaf, peel strip and saffron. Place over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, thyme, fennel, salt, celery salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to develop flavor.
  • In a measuring cup, stir flour with 1/3 cup (75 mL) cold water until no lumps remain. After tomato mixture has simmered 15 minutes, slowly add to flour and water mixture while stirring constantly. Continue simmering, uncovered and stirring often, until mixture has thickened and no taste of flour remains, from 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Taste, and add salt and pepper, if needed. Broth will have a very strong taste, which mellows when seafood is added. If making ahead, remove from heat at this point and refrigerate. Covered, broth will keep well for 3 days.
  • Meanwhile, removing any bones or shells (but not from mussels or clams), cut fish or seafood into bite-size chunks.
  • When ready to serve, remove bay leaf and orange peel from broth. If using clams, stir into hot stew and simmer 10 minutes before adding remaining fish and seafood. Stir fish, seafood, including any mussels and parsley, into simmering stew.
  • Simmer, covered and stirring often, until clam or mussel shells have opened, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with more chopped fresh parsley. Serve with a crisp baguette or sourdough bread to dip into the broth.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4cup olive oil
1 1/4 cups chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
4 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes with added puree
2 1/2 cups bottled clam juice
1 cup dry white wine
2 6 1/2-ounce cans chopped clams, drained, liquid reserved
1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 6-ounce can crabmeat, drained
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
Cayenne pepper

Tips:

  • Choose the right seafood. Fresh, high-quality seafood is essential for this stew. Look for firm, plump fish and shellfish with a briny smell.

  • Season the stew well. Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other spices to the stew. This will help to bring out the flavors of the seafood and vegetables.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
