Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • Red Chilli: 1/2 red chilli, chopped
  • Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Chopped Tomato: 400g can chopped tomato
  • Basil: bunch basil, leaves and stalks separated, stalks tied together, leaves roughly chopped
  • Prawn: 8 large raw prawns (whole look nicest)
  • Fennel Bulb: 1 fennel bulb, halved and sliced, fronds kept separate to garnish
  • White Wine: 150ml white wine
  • Squid: 250g cleaned squid, sliced into rings
  • Crusty Bread: crusty bread, to serve
  • Sea Bass: 4 sea bass fillets (about 140g/5oz each)
  • Clam: 2 large handfuls of mussels or clams

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, then add the fennel, garlic and chilli. Fry until softened, then add the squid, basil stalks, tomatoes and wine. Simmer over a low heat for 35 mins until the squid is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, then season.
  2. Scatter the mussels and prawns over the sauce, lay the sea bass fillets on top, cover, turn up the heat and cook hard for 5 mins. Serve scattered with the basil leaves and fennel fronds, with crusty bread.
