Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup dry white wine
1 generous pinch of saffron threads
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped leeks
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 cups fish stock or bottled clam juice
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
6 ounces linguiça sausage or hot links, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices
20 mussels, scrubbed, debearded
12 littleneck clams, scrubbed
4 5-ounce cod fillets
Yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring wine to simmer in small saucepan. Add saffron. Remove from heat. Cover; let stand 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add leeks and onion; sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add stock, tomatoes with their juices, oregano and saffron mixture. Simmer 20 minutes. Add sausage, mussels and clams. Cover; boil until shellfish open, about 8 minutes (discard any that do not open).
  • Meanwhile, dip 1 side of fish in cornmeal. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add fish, cornmeal side down, and cook until bottom is golden, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over. Ladle 1 cup of soup over. Cover and simmer until fish is just cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Overall, I thought this stew was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my stew didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but this stew was surprisingly good. The broth was very flavorful and the seafood was cooked perfectly.

I love the addition of the chorizo in this stew. It gives it a nice smoky flavor that really complements the seafood.
