Ingredients

Prepairing the fish dish:

300 gr hake
300 gr cod
150 gr squid rings
500 gr mussels
250 gr vongole clams
10 prawns
1 red sweet pepper
3 tomatoes
½ onion
3 cloves garlic
150 ml passata
50 ml white wine
15 black olives
1 tbl spoon capers
2 tbl spoon almonds
2 tbl spoon parsley
1 tea spoon sweet paprika powder
2 tbl spoon olive oil

To prepair the croquettes:

3 potatoes
10 gr chives
1 tbl spoon parsley
½ tea spoon cumin
2 egg yolk
4 egg whites
2 tbl spoon flour
70 gr breadcrumbs
1 tea spoon spicy paprika powder
1 l sunflower oil for frying

Instructions

We first make the croquettes:

Boil the potatoes until done and puree them. Mix the puree with 2 egg yolks, the chopped chives and parsley. Season with salt, pepper and cumin. Mix well. If you don't have a croquette machine, roll balls with your hands. Make them about 4 cm. In total you can make 16 -20 pieces with these quantities. Place them on a plate next to each other and place them in the refrigerator for 1 hour so that they can cool further.
Beat the egg white together with the flour. Place this mixture in a deep plate. Mix the breadcrumbs with the paprika powder and, if necessary, some salt and pepper. Put this as well in a deep plate. First roll the balls in the egg white, then in the breadcrumbs. Make sure your frying oil is hot enough (170º) and fry the croquettes until golden brown.

The seafood dish:

Cut the onion into liitle moon shapes (half way and then slices). Grate the garlic. Cut the red pepper into strips and the tomatoes into cubes.
Place the olive oil in a deep pan and add the chopped vegetables. Stew for about 3 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine and simmer for another 2 minutes. Add the passata. Season with salt, pepper and paprika powder.
Add the mussels and the vongole to the sauce and put the lid on the pan. Let it simmer gently for 5-8 minutes. Stir the shells with a spoon. Now add the rest of the fish (hake, cod, squid) and make sure it is largely covered in the sauce. Add the black olives, capers, almonds and parsley. Place the prawns on top, which will cook through the steam. Place the lid on the pan again and let it cook for 6 minutes on a low heat. Turn off the heat and let it stand for another 5 minutes with the lid on the pan.
At the end I carefully mix the shells, mussels and fish together.

Notes

But prepairing a festive meal can take some more time, right?

The soft fish types of hake and cod, known for their creamy texture and subtle taste, form the perfect basis for this dish. In combination with the squid, mussels, vongole and scampi you get a complete Mediterranean palette. The combination of seafood and tomatoes is not only a feast for the taste buds, but also offers a range of health benefits, including essential omega-3 fatty acids and powerful antioxidants.

The homemade potato croquettes, infused with fresh herbs, will enhance the flavor of the seafood dish. These croquettes, crispy on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside, provide a perfect textural contrast and add an extra dimension of flavor to the dish. Enjoy the holidays and treat your taste buds, Greetings Patricia
