Method

Step 1

In a large saucepan sautee onion, fennel, leek, tomato, garlic, orange zest, saffron and chilli on medium heat for 10 minutes until soft

Step 2

Increase heat and deglaze with Freixenet and cook for a further 10 minutes to cook alcohol off. Add fish stock and bring to the boil.

Step 3

Add mussels, prawns, calamari and clams cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add fish, tarragon and chives and allow to stand for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 4

To make Rouille, using a stick blender add olive oil, garlic, cajun, lemon and egg, mix together on high speed and don’t stop until it emulsifies. You need to do this in one go otherwise it will split. Once set fold boiled potato through with a fork and season.
