Suquet

(the shortened form of "suc," which means "juice," from the appearance of this soup-like fish stew)

Suquet Ingredients
One monk fish tail (queue de lotte), and other similar fish (rascasse, Saint-Pierre, rouget grondin) cut into pieces
1kg mussels
12 king prawns (gambas)
1,5 kg potatoes (cut into large pieces)
2 finely chopped onions.
1 green pepper and 1kg tomatoes (cut into small pieces)
olive oil
garlic, salt, pepper
thyme, laurel, oregano, saffron
2 slices toasted bread

Picada (Catalan “roux” to accompany suquet)
2 cloves garlic, minced
30 almonds and/or hazelnuts
¼ teaspoon salt
olive oil

Soften the chopped onion in 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the pepper and tomatoes and simmer. Add the potatoes and the monkfish. Cover with water and add the thyme, laurel, oregano, saffron and three garlic cloves. Add salt and pepper. When the water boils, add the other chosen fish and boil for 20 mins. Add the mussels and gambas 5 mins before the end.
Picada
Crush or grind to a paste the ingredients of the Picada, except the bread, parsley and oil. Add enough oil to barely cover the picada, and then work it into the mixture slowly to form a thick paste. Smooth onto the toast, and place on the suquet just before serving.
