Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. On a baking sheet lined with foil, roast both peppers whole until the skin blisters, turning half way through to expose all sides.

Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute for a few minutes until the onions soften. Add the potatoes and fennel and continue to stir for a minute or two, then add the chillies.

Once the peppers are ready, cut them into strips and add to the pan along with the chorizo and saffron. Stir well and cook on medium heat for five to six minutes.

Add the vine tomatoes and cook for a further two minutes, then season and pour in the wine and tinned tomatoes along with 400ml of cold water. Add the fish, stir and place the lid on, leaving to stew for a further 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce.
