Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the garlic for 30 seconds. Add the stock and tomato pastes and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  2. Add all the fish and seafood and cook, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and the clams and mussels have opened. Discard any shells that remain closed.
  3. Serve with a scattering of chives and a twist of black pepper.
