Had some saffron kicking around that I wanted to use, so I decided to try a fish stew. I couldn’t find a recipe I like, so I stripped it down to the basics: saffron, fish, scallops, fish stock, tomato paste, white wine, shallots, onion and garlic. Turned out well. Served it with a Parmesan crusted baked polenta. A good experiment.

Tried this ricotta stuffed mushroom recipe from Jamie Oliver. Made it into a salad by adding rocket and grated Parmesan with a drizzle of olive oil.
