Method
step 1
Halve and season the tomatoes, roast at 220c/fan 200c/gas 7 for 20 minutes, then roughly chop. Throw away any shellfish that won’t close when tapped.
step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan and cook the shallots and garlic until soft but not coloured. Add the tomatoes, saffron and thyme and stir.
step 3
Add a splash of pernod and flambé. Shake the pan to extinguish the flame and burn off the alcohol. Add the wine and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Add the fish and enough stock to just cover it. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.
step 4
Remove the thyme and season. Discard any clams or mussels that haven’t opened. Sprinkle with parsley or basil and serve with bread.
