Normandy seafood stew
A "marmite normande" is a combination of different seasonal julienne vegetables and a mix of shellfish, rapidly sautéed, then deglazed with cider.
The vegetables and shellfish are then simmered together in cream, which intensifies the flavours while it gently reduces and thickens.
This recipe is rather long to prepare, as there is a lot of peeling, but it is really quite easy to make.

Remarks
This is a very approximate recipe, so do feel free to vary it according to your taste and the vegetables and shellfish in season.
You will notice that the quantities are large, intended to feed 8 people. As the preparation is quite long, it makes sense to to cook a decent quantity and freeze some.
You may have noticed that in stage 7 the potatoes are not raw. This is also a flexible recipe. I had some leftover potatoes, so used them up in this recipe, rather than raw ones.
