Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 2 cups fish stock or clam juice
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1.5 pounds mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, cod, and mussels)
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 loaf crusty bread, for serving
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.
Add the crushed tomatoes, fish stock (or clam juice), bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the mixed seafood to the pot and cover it with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is just cooked through and the mussels have opened (discard any mussels that remain closed).
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Remove the bay leaves and ladle the cioppino into bowls.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread for dipping.
