Zarzuela de Mariscos

Zarzuela de Mariscos is a great Spanish dish. This is a quick and simplified version based on the Marinara Mix which most fishmongers sell. Of course other seafood ingredients may be added to give a better end result such as opened mussels, prawns, clams and scallops.
750g of Marinara Mix from the market, use any other suitable mix from your fishmonger
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp brandy
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 small garlic clove, peeled, and sliced
1 small red pepper, diced
1 tomato, peeled and chopped (or just use some tomato from a can)
1 tbsp ground almonds
1/2 sachet of Spanish saffron powder
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tbsp minced parsley
Sauté the red pepper in the olive oil in a pan. When it is softening add onion, garlic and tomato. Cook until very soft. Add the brandy, almonds and saffron. Cook briefly and then add the wine and marinara mix. Simmer until the seafood is cooked. To serve, add the chopped parsley and serve with either rice or cous cous.
