King Juan Carlos of Spain goes on holidays to the beach every year. There, he finds his favourite dish: "Caldereta de langosta", a kind of lobster stew. Today, Spanish chef Antonia Herrero López will teach us how to prepare the king´s favourite dish.

In a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic, parsley, almonds and saffron.When mixed, add the lemon juice and brandy. This is reserved until the end.
Boil the lobsters in salted water for 10 minutes. Remove the lobsters and reserve the water. Separate the heads and cut the tails into slices. Cut the heads in half, lengthwise and clean the lobsters, getting rid of the intestines.
Heat the oil in a casserole dish (preferably earthenware). Saute the onions, capsicums, garlic and a little parsley. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and cook for 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Pass the sauce through a sieve and place back in the dish.
