  • Add canned tomatoes and let everything simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in water and let it simmer gently for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the mussels and monkfish to the sauce and simmer until everything is cooked through and the mussels have opened.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the prawns to the soup.
  • Lightly toast hazelnuts in a dry frying pan, then finely crush in a mortar or quick blender with garlic, anise seeds, and parsley.
  • Add a little water to the mixture to form a purée.
  • Gently stir the mixture into the dish and season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve the stew with bread on the side.
