Just winged this to be honest. It took about 40 mins. It's really tasty.
Have some pearl barley cooking in a rice cooker or on the stove.
Chop 1 onion, zucchini and carrot. Pan fry in OO until softened. Add 2 minced garlic gloves and 1tbsp tomato paste. Stir for a min. Add 1/2 cup of veg stock and 1 tin of tomatoes (I blitzed my tomatoes in the tin to make it a passata texture). Simmer for a few mins.
Add 1- 2 tbsp Italian herbs. Add chilli flakes if you want. Add another cup of stock and the raw seafood (I just used a thawed marinara mixture. You could do just fish, or calamari or whatever.)
cook for 10 mins or so, at a good simmer until seafood is almost cooked. Add more stock if it reduces too much.
Add black olives and the cooked barley. Taste it and season. I seasoned with pepper, salt, sumac, lemon zest and lemon juice.
take off heat and stir through fresh herbs. Et voila

Looks like a delicious stew thing! 😋
Ahh i love the name. I m tired of people needing a proper name for a dish w exact recipes. Everything should be a stew thing
My kind of dish! Well done!
Crazy: I essentially made that exact dish last night. The only exceptions:
– I just threw steel cut oats in with the simmer. I like it with some tooth.
– veg was asparagus & brussel sprouts
– cod, shrimp & calamari
– everything started with trying to think of something to make in order to use up a half jar of Rao’s marinara
It was excellent.
