Method

Preparation of Seafood

  1. 1

    Clean the Seafood

    Rinse the scallops, clams, mussels, and calamari under cold water. Remove any beards from the mussels and discard any clams or mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

Roasting Fennel and Potatoes

  1. 2

    Prepare Fennel and Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice the fennel bulb into wedges and place on a baking tray with halved fingerling potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.

Making the Broth

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, saffron threads, and chili flakes. Cook for another 5 minutes to combine the flavors.

  3. 5

    Add Fish Stock

    Pour in the fish stock, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Cooking the Seafood

  1. 6

    Add Seafood to Broth

    Once the broth is simmering, add the cleaned scallops, clams, mussels, and calamari. Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams and mussels have opened and the scallops are opaque.

Plating

  1. 7

    Serve the Brodetto

    Ladle the seafood and broth into bowls, ensuring each bowl gets a mix of seafood. Garnish with the roasted fennel and fingerling potatoes. Enjoy your Brodetto Di Pesce!
