Instructions

1

Prepare the vegetables: dice the onion, mince the garlic, chop the carrot and celery into small pieces, and dice the bell pepper. Roughly chop the tomatoes.

2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3

Add the carrot, celery, and bell pepper to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.

4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor. Add the chopped tomatoes, oregano, and thyme. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

5

Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half. Add the fish stock and bring to a gentle simmer.

6

Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

7

Cut the white fish fillet into bite-sized pieces. Add the fish pieces to the simmering stew and cook for 3-4 minutes until just opaque.

8

Add the prawns and mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes until the prawns are pink and cooked through, and the mussels have opened (discard any that don't open).

9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.

10

Ladle the seafood stew into bowls and serve immediately with crusty bread if desired.
