Thermomix Hake with beans and clams

I think this is a good recipe for a special occasion. We like it a lot, the last time I did it was a couple of weeks ago and it was my husband who suggested that this "hake with beans and clams" would be a good dish for the Christmas meal. We prefer fish in our family.

You can prepare it in advance and just warm it up when you are ready to eat it. As with most pulses recipes, they tend to be better overnight. It can be done with both hake and whiting (I make it with whiting) and with clams or mussels.

Ingredients: (for 6 servings)

- 500 gr. Of clams or mussels

- Salt

- 2 cans of beans or cooked white beans (800 gr.)

- 6 fillets hake or whiting

- 1 coriander of parsley (leaves only)

- 2-3 cloves of garlic

- 80 gr. Of olive oil

- ½ tablespoon paprika

- 1 bay leaf

- 100 gr. Of white wine

- 300 gr. Of water with ½ tablet of concentrated fish broth

- 1 cayenne pepper (optional)

Preparation:

Put the clams in a bowl with water and salt to release the sand (about 30 minutes). Then we put them in the basket and put them aside.

Put the beans into the tray of the varoma and rinse them with water to wash them.

Place the fillets of hake or whiting inside the previously greased varoma, on top we put the tray of the varoma with the beans. Put the lid and set them aside.

Add the leaves of parsley in the bowl and shred for 5 seconds, at speed 7. Remove them from the bowl and reserve.

Without washing the bowl, add the garlic and program 3 seconds, at speed 6. With the help of the spatula, scrape the sides of the bowl towards the bottom.

Add the oil and set 4 minutes, temperature 100º/speed spoon.

Add the paprika, bay leaf and white wine. Program 2 minutes, temperature varoma and speed 1, without the measuring cup to facilitate evaporation.

We add 4 tablespoons of beans, the water, the half tablet of broth and the cayenne (optional). Put the basket in the bowl with the clams and place the varoma in position. Program 15 minutes, temperature varoma and speed 1.

Pour the beans in a bowl or preheated casserole, place the fillets of hake or whiting on top, add the clams, pour the contents of the bowl and sprinkle with the chopped parsley reserved. Serve immediately.
