Cazuela Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Aji Panca

    Stir in the diced tomatoes and aji panca paste. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Spices

    Pour in the vegetable broth, add saffron, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Seafood

    Add the clams, mussels, shrimp, and fish to the pot. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the clams and mussels have opened.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Coconut Milk

    Stir in the coconut milk and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cazuela hot over a bed of cooked white rice.
