On his travels along the countrys Atlantic frontier or green coast, David Prior lands a traditional northern Spanish seafood recipe fresh off the boat.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and capsicum and cook, stirring, for 6-8 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes or until slightly reduced. Add the wine and 3 cups (750ml) water, then season. Increase heat to medium- high and bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes or until slightly reduced.
- Meanwhile, combine aioli and paprika in a bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Place the brandy in a separate small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to burn off some of the alcohol, then stir into the soup. Simmer for a further 10 minutes. Add the fish to the soup and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, then add the prawns and scallops, and cook for 1-2 minutes until all the seafood is just cooked. Season and remove from heat.
- Divide the soup among four serving bowls and scatter with the parsley. Serve with the paprika aioli and crusty bread.
