Cassola

All over Italy in all the small ports along the long coastline and on the islands, there are many recipes for creating sumptuous fish stews, soups and casseroles. This fish stew is a traditional recipe from the island of Sardinia and, like all the recipes for similar dishes, it relies on a wide selection of different kinds of fish and a few very simple ingredients to turn it into a memorable gastronomic experience. Here, dried and fresh red chilli gives the finished dish plenty of punch.
