1

Sauté the chopped onion until it begins to become transparent, then add the squid rings and fry until the onion is golden brown.

2

Add the tomato sauce and season slightly, continuing to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally.

3

Add the broth from the mussels to the saucepan and cook for 20 minutes.

4

In a separate pot, place cleaned mussels with a little water, cover, and boil over high heat until they open. Strain the broth and reserve, removing the shell from some mussels.

5

In a frying pan with a little oil, mark the fish slices coated in flour until juicy but golden on the outside. Fry the prawns until golden brown, then remove and reserve.

6

Prepare the picada by crushing garlic, almonds, pan-fried bread, and parsley in a mortar. Add a little white wine and mix it into the sauce, letting it boil for 3-4 more minutes.

7

Transfer the sauce to the casserole, add the prawns, mussels, and clams. If necessary, add more stock and gently shake the casserole to settle the ingredients. Adjust salt if needed and cook covered over low heat for 5 more minutes.
