PREP TIME

SERVES

serves 4

ingredients

  • 800g of shellfish, for example, clams or cockles
  • A jar of Brindisa sofrito sauce
IN STOCK
  • A jar of Navarrico chickpeas
IN STOCK
  • 200ml or half a bottle of Fumet fish stock
OUT OF STOCK
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsely

Method

1. Prepare the shellfish you have chosen for the stew well, wash and discard any shells that have broken etc.

2. Heat the Sofrito sauce in a pan and add a jar of chickpeas. Heat together for 2 minutes, until the mixture comes to a simmer.

3. Add the fumet rojo, there should be enough liquid for the chickpeas to begin to float. Taste the liquid and add the sugar if the sofrito tastes a little too acidic. 

4. Add the shellfish (clams, cockles etc.), bring to a vigorous boil, and put the lid on the pan for 1-2 minutes, just long enough for the shellfish to cook and release their juices. 

5. Take the pan from the heat, stir in the parsley, and add a twist of black pepper.

6. To serve, lift out the chickpeas and shellfish with a slotted spoon and put into small bowls, then cover them with a ladleful of the cooking liquid. Garnish with a sprinkling of parsley.
