Method
- 1
Pound or blitz the garlic with half the coriander and a little of the olive oil to a rough paste.
- 2
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pot and fry the garlic and coriander paste for a minute, then pour in the fish stock and bring to a simmer.
- 3
Add the clams, cover and cook for 3 minutes, then add the prawns and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the clams open and the prawns are pink. Discard any clams that stay shut.
- 4
Stir in the torn bread and let it soften for 2-3 minutes, breaking it up slightly to thicken the stew.
- 5
Stir through the remaining coriander and serve immediately.
