Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and celery until soft but not coloured, about 10 mins. Throw in the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the wine and simmer on a high heat until most has disappeared.
  2. Pour in the stock and cornflour mix and simmer for 5-10 mins, stirring often until thickened. Season, then add the seafood and most of the dill. Simmer for a few mins until piping hot, then stir in the crème fraîche.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the garlic bread following pack instructions. Divide the stew into warm bowls and scatter with the remaining dill. Serve with garlic bread for dipping into the stew.

    Tasty and easy! Very good mid week supper. I couldn't get any dill so used parsley instead which worked well...think dill would have been tastier though. Without herbs it would be rather bland I feel. Think it would work really well with chunks of white fish too!

    Just made this for dinner tonight, my seafood pack didn't contain scallops, so i bought some fresh from the fish counter, quartered and poached them in the sauce for a couple of minutes before adding the rest of the seafood to heat through. I couldn't locate any fresh dill at my local supermarket, so just used parsley. Very tasty, perfect portion sizes (i halved the recipe easily) and very yummy with the garlic bread. Will definitely be making this again. Check out my foodie blog http://bumblebakery.blogspot.co.uk/

    Delicious! Made this instead of our usual roast as the sun was shining! Was absolutely lovely, used a mix of seafood (meant for a fish pie) salmon, cod, smoked haddock and lots of prawns, also used a knorr herb infusion pot as well as the stock, also used fresh dill and served with garlic bread. Fab!

    We loved this. I did change a bit which I don't usually do - leeks for celery, mixed herbs for dill and cider instead of wine but it was still delish. The quantities were fine for us (2 adults/2 children) but agree you may need more for 4 adults. I served it with garlic bread (sooo yummy dipped in!), green beans and carrots. It's now stored in my favs as I've always got mixed seafood in the freezer.

    Ive made this stew a few times now and it turns out beautiful every time. This time I'm going to do it a little differently. We've have a huge amount of Marrow, Courgette, Pumpkin and Squash so I'm going to cut these into little chunks and cook them along side the onion and celery, continue with the rest of the recipe as it states but instead of adding seafood this time I 'll lay a panfried Seabass fillet on the top when serving.

    This was very tasty and surprisingly easy to make. The white wine definitely brings it a nice flavour, but the dish becomes much nicer if you add a little salmon in it. I will definitely do this again soon

    This is a great recipe - fast yet tasty. I used only 150 ml white wine and 200ml stock and added 200 ml plain yoghurt instead of creme fraiche. I also sprinkled a little cajun spice on the onions while they were frying. Everyone was impressed!

    Really tasty, the garlic bread goes incredibly well. I tend to double the amount of seafood though, it does need the extra substance. As many have said, don't bother without the dill, it's really a must for this dih to work!

    I used two leeks as I'm not too keen on celery and added potatoes to bulk it out. Even with the potatoes the portion sizes were small. I made this for myself but ate it over three days - it was nice the first day but I think it tasted better the second and third with some fresh crusty bread. Easy to make and v tasty, will definitely make again.

    A perfect recipe. Easy to make with delicious results every time. Have served it with brown rice for a change also made it with just prawns and poured over grilled white fish (cod, plaice). Love it.

    I have made this a few times and my family (finicky husband and a 4 year old ) and I absolutely love it. I used a mix of shrimp, mussels and octopus. The dill is essential- don't leave it out! And the garlic bread goes with it perfectly.

    Very tasty meal - if only all restaurant food was this tasty. Recipe was only enough for 2 adults though. I guess it could be bulked out with some veg or fish to make it for 3-4. Would have to say that its the sauce which provides tha flavour, rather than the seafood, so I guess there are options to play around with what's cooked in the sauce. I imagine that using fresh seafood would make this spectacular - though would obviously require properly cooking it. The dill is a key part of the dish, though would suggest only using a bit (maybe 4-5 stalks) as it could overpower the other flavours. I used a Muscadet (and drank the rest with the meal), which went perfectly.
