Ingredients

Method

1
Clean the squid by removing the head and innards, then peel away the outer skin and cut the body into thin rings; rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
2
Cut the white fish into bite-sized chunks (about 2 inches), removing any small bones; set aside.
3
Thaw the frozen mussels in their shells under cool running water until fully thawed; discard any that remain closed after thawing.
4
Dice the onions and tomatoes into small pieces; mince the garlic cloves finely.
5
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering.
2 minutes
6
Add the minced garlic and diced onions to the hot oil, stirring frequently until the onions are soft and translucent.

7
Stir in the diced tomatoes and salt, cooking for 3–4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices.
8
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
