Method

  1. Toast the chillies in a hot dry frying pan for a few moments (they will puff up a bit), then remove. Deseed and stem chillies, and soak in boiling water for 15 mins.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, season and cook for about 5 mins or until softened. Add the chipotle paste, reconstituted chillies, cumin, stock and tomatoes. Sauté for 5 mins, then purée until very fine in a blender. Pour back into the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 mins. When close to eating, add the prawns, fish fillets, clams and potatoes. Place a lid on top and cook for 5 mins over a medium-high heat. Add the lime juice and serve with lime wedges, avocado, coriander, red onion and tortilla chips for sprinkling over.

    I have just made this, but used Piment d'Espelette and didn't have potato's so used Orzo pasta, Fish stock instead of Chicken and mixed shell fish. It was delicious, Going to make it again at the weekend as we have got Chilli addict friends coming for a meal and they will love this. Make sure you have plenty of baguettes to sop up the juices.

    Absolutely delicious and really easy to make. I used a hand blender and the consistency was spot on.

    This is a really good recipe and is so easy. I don't like really hot food, so I used 1 deseeded green chilli and some paprika. It had enough heat, but wasn't overpowering. Brilliant.

    YUCK YUCK YUCK! Too much effort, and the lime, tomato and coriander completely over powered the fish. Masterchef....me thinks not

    Had to use Cod and Mussels as replacements but the recipe is brilliant. Not sure about the serving size though, 3 of us got through it way too easily!
