Prepare the Cassoulet
- Heat ½ of the olive oil in a sauté pan. Add the fish, shrimp and scallops to the pan and cook until all are cooked through and browned. Remove and set aside for service.
- In the same pan, add the remaining oil and heat. Add the bacon, onions and fennel, and sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, and reduce by 2/3.
- Add the tomato paste, cooked beans, and tomatoes. Add the prepared Knorr Ultimate® Lobster Base. Allow to cook down for 5 minutes, until a stew-like consistency is reached.
- Add cream, and adjust seasoning. Add seafood back to pan and fold into stew.
- Plate with garnish of chervil.
