Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the tomato sauce: 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 bunch of parsley, 1 carrot, 3 slices of bacon, 2 bay leaves, a pinch of sugar, 1/3 teaspoon of TABASCO, 300 ml of canned tomatoes.

Step 2

Cut the bacon into strips and fry it in a hot saucepan.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: slice the onion, garlic, and carrot. Add them to the bacon and sauté together until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add the parsley, bay leaves, canned tomatoes, sugar, and TABASCO, and cook for 25-30 minutes. Pass the finished sauce with the remaining vegetables through a sieve.

Step 4

Rinse the shrimp and remove the digestive tract. Clean the squid, removing the membrane, and cut into rings. Clean the mussels of algae.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a wok and sauté the garlic and julienned onion. Add the green bell pepper, cut into long strips, and cook for 20 minutes until the pepper is tender.

Step 6

Add the seafood, then add TABASCO and wine, and let it evaporate a bit.

Step 7

Add the tomato sauce, the potatoes cut into wedges, and the butter. Adjust the dish with salt and simmer until the potatoes are cooked, about 25-30 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with cilantro.
