  • 200 g squid tentacles
  • 750 ml vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 2 brown onions finely diced

  • 250 ml dry white wine optional
  • 500 g passata (tomato puree)

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Heavy skillet or frying pan

Method
 

  1. Start by steaming the mussels and clams in a large pot with vegetable broth for about three minutes until the shells open. Strain the liquid and set aside, discarding any shells that do not open.
  2. In a heavy skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil and sear the salmon and shrimp until golden, then remove them from the skillet.
  3. In the same pan, cook the squid tentacles for 30 seconds, then set aside with the other seafood.
  4. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan and sauté garlic and chili flakes until fragrant. Add onions and fennel, cooking until soft and caramelized. Add saffron threads.
  5. Pour in the white wine (if using) and deglaze the pan, then add passata, reserved seafood broth, oregano, and lemon juice. Simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Fold in the prepared seafood and warm through for a couple of minutes. Season with black pepper and garnish with parsley and fennel fronds.
