- 1 cup fish stock

Step-by-Step Instructions 👨🍳
1. Prepare the Hake:
- Season the hake fillets with salt and pepper, then roll them up, securing with toothpicks to maintain the shape.
- Place the hake rolls in the Varoma tray and set aside.
2. Create the Sofrito:
- In the Thermomix bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped onion, and olive oil.
- Chop for 5 seconds on Speed 4, then cook for 9 minutes at Varoma temperature on Speed 1.
3. Cook the Shrimp and Add Wine:
- Add half of the shrimp and the white wine (or brandy) into the Thermomix bowl. Cook for 2 minutes at Varoma temperature, Spoon Speed with Reverse Mode, without the measuring cup to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
4. Incorporate Tomatoes and Spices:
- Add the diced tomatoes, sweet paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 8 minutes at Varoma temperature on Speed 1.
5. Steam the Hake:
- Pour in the fish stock and add some fresh parsley.
- Place the Varoma tray with hake rolls in position. Cook for 20 minutes at Varoma temperature on Speed 2.
6. Finish the Sauce:
- Remove the hake and set aside on a serving platter, discarding the toothpicks. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning.
- Blend the sauce in the Thermomix for 45 seconds at Speed 7 until smooth.
- Add the remaining shrimp and cook for 3 minutes at Varoma temperature on Spoon Speed.
7. Serve and Garnish:
- Pour the shrimp sauce over the hake rolls. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot, alongside steamed potatoes or white rice.
Pro Tips for Success 🌟
- Perfect Texture: If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a teaspoon of flour to the sofrito before blending.
