Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups 1/2-inch pieces peeled seeded butternut squash (from about 1 1/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped fennel bulb
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
3 cups bottled clam juice
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup dry Sherry
1/2 cup water
24 small clams, scrubbed
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, crushed
1 1/2 pounds sea bass fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
Fennel fronds (optional)

Steps:

  • Steam squash until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Cool. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, chopped fennel and minced garlic and sautéuntil translucent, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste, chopped fresh thyme and bay leaf and stir 1 minute. Add clam juice, tomatoes with juices, white wine, Sherry and 1/2 cup water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer 20 minutes to blend flavors. Discard bay leaf.
  • Add clams and saffron to pot; cover and cook until clams open, about 4 minutes (discard any clams that do not open). Add sea bass and steamed squash to stew. Cover and simmer until squash is tender and fish is just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Season stew to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle stew into bowls. Garnish with fennel fronds, if desired, and serve.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I added some shrimp and scallops that I had in the freezer, and it turned out great.
