Method
- Heat the oil in a wide, lidded saucepan or deep frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the shallots and fennel, uncovered, for 5-7 mins until softened and translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min, then add the plum tomatoes and cook for 4 mins until they start to soften.
- Add the wine and bubble for 2 mins. Add the stock, the saffron with soaking water, chillies, bay leaf, lemon zest and chopped tomatoes. Simmer gently for 6-8 mins. Season to taste.
- Meanwhile, cook the mussels to pack instructions.
- Add the cod and prawns to the stew, cover, and cook for 3-4 mins until the fish is opaque and the prawns are pink. Gently stir through the chopped parsley and the mussels with their cooking liquid. Garnish with the extra parsley.
- Meanwhile, grill the ciabatta until lightly golden. Serve the stew with the toasted ciabatta and lemon wedges.
