How to cook deliciously - Catalan Fish Stew with Pimentón Mayonnaise

1. Stage

Using a box grater set in a bowl, carefully grate the cut sides of the tomatoes, stopping when you reach the skin. You should have about 2 cups of tomato pulp.

2. Stage

In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the onion and half of the garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until they are softened and just beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato pulp and cook over high heat until it is thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the clam broth and boil until it is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

3. Stage

Add the serrano, olives, and halibut, and simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and the stew is thick, about 5 minutes longer.

4. Stage

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, using the back of a spoon, mash the remaining garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt. Whisk in the mayonnaise, pimentón, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

5. Stage

Serve the fish stew in shallow bowls with a dollop of the pimentón mayonnaise and crusty bread.
