Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Pour boiling water over the tomatoes for 30 seconds. Drain and rinse. Peel and chop. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, leek, fennel, and parsley for 5 minutes until softened. Add the tomatoes, orange zest, saffron, bay leaves, thyme, and 600 ml of water; bring to a boil. Season and simmer for 20–25 minutes.
Step 2
Cut the fish fillet into even pieces and add to the pot. Cook on low heat for 2–3 minutes without stirring. Add the mussels and shrimp, cook for another 5 minutes until the mussels open (discard any that do NOT open) and the fish flakes easily.
Step 3
Remove the fish and seafood, set aside. Strain the broth through a sieve, keeping all the vegetables, return the liquid to the pot, add the remaining oil, and boil for 2 minutes over high heat.
Step 4
Return the vegetables, fish, and seafood to the pot.
Step 5
Serve with garlic toasts. Toast pieces of bread and rub with garlic. Serve the soup with garlic toasts, rui sauce, and cheese.
