Zarzuela (Spanish Sea Food Stew)
published by CutestPrincess on Dec 17, 2009
This excellent seafood stew comes from the Catalan coast of northeast Spain. Zarzuela means "operetta," or "variety show," and perfectly describes the sing-song versatility of this dish. The greater the variety of seafood you add to this dish, the better its flavor will be.
Ingredients:
50 g lapu lapu
50 g mussels
50 g shrimp
100 g clams
50 g squid
2 oz tomato sauce
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp.sherry wine
2 tbsp. brandy
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 slice fried bread
2 green olives, chopped
Procedure:
Sauté garlic in olive oil. Sauté fish until half-cooked. Add the remaining seafood. Pour the brandy and sherry. Add tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped green olives.
