Prepare the Zarzuela
Add Tomatoes and Stock
Stir in the diced tomatoes, fish stock, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Add Seafood
Add the prawns, mussels, and squid to the pot. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels have opened.
Finish and Garnish
Stir in fresh parsley and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Romesco Sauce
Blend the Sauce
In a blender, combine the roasted red bell peppers, toasted almonds, roasted garlic, tomato paste, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Prepare the Toasted Baguette
Toast the Baguette
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy.
