DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil in a large stewpot. Add the leeks, pepper, and garlic, and sauté over medium heat until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and carrots and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and the pepper. Sauté for 1 minute. Add the white wine and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 7 minutes. Add the bay leaves, tomato puree, and fish broth, and continue to simmer over medium-low heat, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes.
|
While the stew base is simmering, put the potatoes in a small saucepan with water to cover, add the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a boil, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and add to the stew. (The base can be prepared up to this point a day ahead, cooled, and refrigerated.)
|
When ready to serve, bring the stew to a boil, add the ginger and zucchini, and simmer, covered, for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the clams, cover the pan, and cook the clams for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the shells just begin to open. Stir in the mussels, shrimp, and coriander. Season the broth to taste with salt and pepper. Tuck the snapper pieces into the stew, and continue to cook, covered, for 3 to 4 minutes. The stew is ready when the clam and mussel shells open fully and the shrimp turn a light pink and begin to curl. Swirl the pan to mix the stew without breaking up the snapper. Serve immediately in large warmed bowls.
