Preparation

Place the barramundi, squid and prawns in a mixing bowl and add the marinade ingredients. Mix well and marinate for 4 hours.
To make the sauce, use a hand-held blender or food processor to blend the capsicum (including its seeds) with the tomato, celery and cumin. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat and fry the red onion until soft. Add the blended sauce and bring to a high simmer. Stir in the tomato paste, coriander and salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cover the base of the tagine with some of the sauce, add the seafood, then cover with the remaining sauce. Place the tagine on the stove over medium heat for a few minutes to start the cooking process. Transfer to the oven and cook for 40–45 minutes.
Serve with fresh bread, couscous or rice.
