MARISCADA EN SALSA VERDE (SEAFOOD STEW IN GREEN SAUCE)



Mariscada En Salsa Verde (Seafood Stew in Green Sauce) image

This seafood stew gets it's green sauce from tomatillos and fresh parsley. I've adjusted the traditional cooking method a bit to, hopefully, bring out the flavors of the seafood with less of a "fishy" taste. This is a Spanish version, rather than Mexican or Latin American so it uses fresh parsley. If you prefer, you can substitute fresh cilantro for some or all of the parsley.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 lb tomatillo
1 medium onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
13 1/2 ounces unsweetened coconut milk (or whatever your can size is)
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups water and 2 tsp chicken bouillon
1 cup dry white wine (like Pinot Grigio, one you would drink)
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped (about 1/2 a bunch)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 lb sea scallops
2 lobster tails
12 littleneck clams
12 mussels
1/4 lb squid, bodies washed well and cut into rings (calamari)
fresh parsley, optional for garnish
heavy cream, optional for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook tomatillos in boiling water for about 3 minutes (they will change color), cool off in cold water for a couple of minutes, then chop in a food processor.
  • Add onions and garlic to food processor and coarsely puree.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute puree until onions are tender, about 5 minutes (I know this is hard to tell, but use your nose; the puree will smell strongly of onions, but once done, the aroma will be lessened).
  • Stir in coconut milk, chicken stock, wine, and parsley; season with salt and pepper and hot sauce.
  • Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium high heat; add shrimp and saute until slightly seared, but not necessarily cooked through (will finish in the sauce), about 1 minute per side; set aside.
  • Saute scallops until seared, about 2 minutes per side (will also finish in sauce); set aside.
  • Wipe out skillet and add about 1/4 cup water and and lobster tails; cover and let steam about 3 minutes; snip in half, lengthwise, with kitchen shears, and set aside.
  • Add clams to skillet, cover and cook clams, shaking occasionally, until one opens, then add mussels.
  • Re-cover and cook, while shaking pan occasionally, until all shells open.
  • Add seafood, including squid (calamari) to salsa verde and heat through, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve with optional garnishes.
  • ------------------------------------------OR---------------------------------------------.
  • Once, salsa verde is finished simmering, pour it into an oven-safe covered casserole (a pretty one for serving).
  • Add seafood, stir, cover, and bake at 325 degrees F until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
  • Bring to the table in the casserole dish; pass optional garnishes.

Tips:

- Use high-quality seafood for the best results. Fresh or frozen seafood works well, but avoid using seafood that has been previously frozen and thawed. - If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before cooking. - Do not overcook the seafood, as it will become tough. Seafood is cooked through when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. - Use a variety of vegetables in your mariscada. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish. - Use a good quality green sauce. A traditional green sauce is made with tomatillos, onions, garlic, and cilantro. However, you can also use other types of green sauces, such as pesto or chimichurri. - Serve mariscada with rice, tortillas, or bread.

Conclusion:

Mariscada is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to celebrate special occasions or to simply enjoy a delicious meal with family and friends.
