Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.

Peel and dice 2 carrots.

Peel and rinse 2 potatoes. Dice small and rinse once more.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 15 min.

Prepare 200 g green cabbage and shred finely.

Prepare 1 leek.

Stage 3

Bring the vegetable stock to the boil.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 30 min.

Tip in the carrots and cook until just tender but still with a bit of "bite" (not overcooked).

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Remove them from the stock, cool under running water to stop them cooking any further and drain.

Set aside.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

Cook the cabbage then the potatoes in the same way.

Discard half the stock and reduce the rest by 3/4 over medium heat.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 30 min.

Prepare 400 g cockles.

Cut the fish into large chunks.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 3 min.

Pour 4 tablespoons olive oil into a large saucepan (preferably non-stick) on high heat.

When good and hot, add the chunks of fish and fry quickly to brown them all over.

Set aside.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 2 min.

Tip the cockles into the same pan and sauté for 2 minutes.

Set aside.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 5 min.

Pour the reduced stock into the pan (there should only be 5 or 6 tablespoonsful left) and use this to deglaze the bottom.

Stage 12 - ⌛ 10 min.

Add 250 ml cream and 3 pinches saffron. Turn down the heat and leave to reduce gently.

When the saffron cream has reduced, checking the seasoning.

Stage 13 - ⌛ 1 min.

...then the cockles and fish.

Stage 15 - ⌛ 3 min.

Stir gently and leave to heat through for a couple of minutes. Check the seasoning again before serving.

Remarks

If you do not have your own vegetable stock, use poultry stock or a stock cube and water. You can even just use salted water (in this case, do not reduce and replace the stock with a little white wine at stage 11).
