Chef's tip
Use the Ultimate tomato sauce recipe as a base for this moreish Spanish stew, which is suitable for freezing. Fish cooks very quickly, so it’s best to freeze the fish raw – this will stop it overcooking when you heat the stew. Make sure that the meat or fish is covered by the sauce before freezing, to protect it from freezer burn.
