Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large, heavy saute pan or casserole, at least six quarts capacity.

  2. Step 2

    Add the onions, leeks, chopped fennel bulbs and red pepper and saute over medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and chili pepper and saute for another minute. Then add the tomatoes, fish stock and wine. Season with a little salt, add the thyme, reduce heat to low and allow to cook for 20 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While the vegetable mixture is cooking, place the potatoes in a pot, cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Fold the beans into the vegetable mixture, then tuck in the clams and mussels. Cut the fish into two-inch chunks and add them. Cover the casserole and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the clams and mussels have opened and the fish is cooked through.

  5. Step 5

    Tuck the potatoes into the stew. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return to a simmer and serve in deep bowls or soup plates, with a dollop of pesto on top of each serving.
