  • Method

  • 1
    Place your Le Creuset Cast Iron BBQ Outdoor Shallow Casserole over medium heat on the Barbecue and warm a drizzle of olive oil. Add the diced chorizo and cook until it begins to release its oils and turn golden. Add the red onion, fennel and garlic, sautéing gently until the onion is soft and fragrant.

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook briefly to deepen its flavour. Pour in the fish stock and add the chopped tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the stew to bubble gently over the Barbecue, letting the flavours meld together. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and season to taste.

    Add the hake pieces and prawns to the simmering stew, followed by the mussels, tucking them into the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper, cover with the lid, and cook until the fish is just cooked through, the prawns are pink and tender, and the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

    Remove from the heat and finish with a scattering of fresh dill. Serve the stew straight from the casserole, accompanied by a crisp baguette to soak up the fragrant, light summer broth.
