Instructions

  1. Soak the saffron threads in 2 tablespoons of hot water.
  2. Gently heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the onions, leeks, garlic, bay leaf and marjoram for about 10 minutes. Swing through from time to time. Add the orange peel, wine, paprika and the tomatoes and let simmer for another 10 minutes over medium heat. Then fill up with the tomato puree, the fish stock and tomato paste. Stir in the dissolved saffron and brown sugar. Bring to the boil briefly and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes.

  4. Finished! When serving, sprinkle the rest of the parsley on top and serve with fresh white bread!
