  • 500 ml fruity, medium sweet white wine
  • 2 tins coconut milk

Execution

Coat all seafood in olive oil, season with salt & pepper
Place the fish & mussels into an ovenproof dish in one layer
Heat a non-stick pan for 3’ & place a single layer of calamari into pan. Do not stir.
Allow liquids to evaporate, then turn over, when most have evaporated add little olive oil & allow to brown. Do not cook through.
Remove from pan & place on top of fish & mussels. Repeat this process with the prawns & add to the dish
Pour the sauce over & bake in a preheated oven (180 °C) for 30’
Serve immediately using a lifter so that the fish doesn’t crumble.

Sauce:

Brown onions in olive oil with spices until aromas are released & onion is sweet: add other ingredients except green beans & coconut milk
Simmer for ½ hour: add coconut milk & green beans & simmer for another 5’
Remove from heat

*This is my ‘go to’ dish when entertaining at home, served on a huge platter where everyone gets their hands dirty.
