GINO D’ACAMPO’S AMALFI-STYLE FISH SOUP

STEP 1 Heat the oil in a medium-sized pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and chilli flakes and fry for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. STEP 2 Increase the heat to high. Pour in the wine, bring to the boil and let it bubble for 2 mins. Stir in the stock and tinned tomatoes, season with salt and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 20 mins, stirring occasionally. STEP 3 Reduce the heat and add the fish, prawns and beans. Simmer gently for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. STEP 4 Stir in the fresh tomatoes and parsley and heat gently. Transfer to warm bowls and sprinkle over some lemon zest. Serve immediately. Recipe from Gino’s Italian Coastal Escape by Gino D’acampo (Hodder & Stoughton, Hardback £20).

TV chef Gino says, “Fish soups along the Amalfi coast are big on flavour, but there are many variations, depending on what’s available at the market that day.”
