Cuttlefish stew with potatoes and peas

Contains: Shellfish, Sulphites, Fish

Ingredients for 4 portions

Method

  1. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
  2. Heat the oil in a casserole and fry the onion over a medium-low heat for about 8 minutes, until soft.
  3. Add the cuttlefish and garlic and fry over a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the liquid the cuttlefish releases has cooked off.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes and fry for 5 minutes. Stir in the paprika, pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the fish stock, add the bay leaf and a little salt. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 25 minutes.
  6. While the stew simmers, peel the potatoes and break them into chunks: cut halfway in and snap off each piece, which helps thicken the sauce.
  7. Add the potatoes, with a splash of water if needed so they are just covered. Simmer under a lid for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  8. Stir in the peas and cook for 5 more minutes. Check the salt.
  9. Remove the bay leaf and serve the stew in shallow bowls.
