Method

  1. Halve and season the tomatoes, roast at 220C/fan 200C/ gas 7 for 20 minutes, then roughly chop. Throw away any shellfish that won't close when tapped.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan and cook the shallots and garlic until soft but not coloured. Add the tomatoes, saffron and thyme and stir.
  3. Add a splash of Pernod and flambé. Shake the pan to extinguish the flame and burn off the alcohol. Add the wine and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Add the fish and enough stock to just cover it. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.
  4. Remove the thyme and season. Discard any clams or mussels that haven't opened. Sprinkle with parsley or basil and serve with plenty of bread to mop up the juices.

    Made this with gurnard and pouting, on offer from the supermarket. Used the fish trimmings to make a quick stock. Didn't have pernod, so used vermouth to de-glaze, and added a teaspoon of fennel seeds. Excellent flavour, and really easy to cook. Very flexible recipe, so will cook this one again.
