I have been making this for so long, can't recall where it came from. Considered mainly as an Italian-American variant of the many fish and seafood stews in Italian cuisine, cioppino is also quite a popular dish for the holiday season, especially the Feast of the Seven Fishes. This is probably because you can combine several fish and seafood in the dish, shortening the quota for the number of dishes you need to prepare for the occasion. Turn the heat up slightly and stir.
Instructions to make Easy Cioppino:
- Heat olive oil and garlic in a large pot over medium-high heat for about 1 minute.
- Add the onions, fennel, red bell pepper, bay leaf and red pepper flakes. Add sea salt and black pepper to taste. Saute over medium-high heat until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes and add the basil, parsley and oregano. Continue cooking over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until the sauce is reduced by a third.
- While the sauce thickens, cut the sourdough baguette into half-inch slices and toast or grill on both sides until crisp. Coat lightly with garlic and olive oil. Set aside in a serving bowl.
- Add clams and mussels to the pot and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the fish fillet, scallops, shrimp, calamari and prawns. Cover the pot and simmer rapidly for about 5 minutes.
- Add the steamed crab and stir well. Cook until the mussels and clams open, about 4 more minutes.
- Transfer cioppino into a large bowl and serve immediately with the grilled sourdough bread..
When the seafood is cooked through (the mussels will have opened, the prawns turned pink, and the cod will be flaky) serve your delicious cioppino. Giada De Laurentiis' Cioppino, an Italian-American fisherman's stew, is a lighter alternative to heavy holiday meals, from Everyday Italian on Food Network. Cioppino soup or stew is a tomato-based fisherman's stew made with a variety of seafood. While many different cultures have a version of fisherman's stew by a different name, Cioppino is the Italian version. My version is a nod to that one, but simplified it in terms of the ingredients and the process to make it easy for a weeknight!
