DIRECTIONS

Clean the squid and make a cross-shaped cut in the mantle of each one for three-quarters of its length. This has the effect of opening them up like flowers during cooking.

Steam the mussels until they open. Remove the meat, reserving their liquid and discarding the shells. Strain the reserved liquid. Prepare the clams in the same manner as the mussels.

In a large skillet, combine the butter and olive oil. Add the shallot and sauté until golden. Add the mussel liquid, wine, cream, fish stock, saffron, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and cook for a few minutes.

Add the squid, mussels, clams, shrimp, bell pepper and parsley to the skillet, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes on low heat, stirring a couple of times as it cooks.

Drizzle a thin stream of olive oil over the slices of toast. Place 2 slices on each plate, cover with the seafood stew, and serve.
