This is a delicious nutrient-packed supper that’s loaded with colour to brighten the winter evenings! The beauty is that our chefs have done the prep for you, making it a one pot wonder where all you have to do is combine the ingredients and pop it in the oven. Expect chunky diced white Cornish fish and plump, buttery mussels, alongside paella rice cooked with green peppers, garlic, saffron, chilli and a decent dash of Tio Pepe sherry. It’s all finished off with a piquant salsa of roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes and shallots cooked with paprika, and fresh coriander. You’ll be glowing by the end!
As for the fish – it’s always going to be something of a surprise. We buy whatever tasty sustainable white fish is landed here in Cornwall on the morning we cook this dish – that could be whiting, pollack, haddock, coley or hake. We’ve found that all these fish work brilliantly in the recipe so rather than insisting on a specific species, we go with the flow and take what comes in. Flexing in this way is one of the most sustainable approaches we can take, as it prevents waste and supports the local fishing community as they still get a good price.
This dish is gluten free.
