Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Seafood base: Place the red onion, chilli, lemon zest, garlic, parsley leaves, thyme and bay leaf in a food processor and process to a paste.
  2. Soup base: Heat the olive oil and anchovies in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. When the anchovies are tender, add the seafood base to the oil and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes. Then add the celery, potatoes, and red pepper. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the beer and bring to a boil. Then add the tomatoes and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes or until the volume has reduced by a third. Then turn off the heat, let cool, and store the soup base for later use.

  3. Warming up: Heat the soup base over medium-high heat. Toast the bread in a hot oven. When the mixture comes to a boil, add the cod and scallops to the liquid and bring back to a boil. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the fish are cooked through, then turn off the heat. Serve the soup hot with plenty of bread.
