Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper diced (red or green)
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup seafood stock or chicken broth
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust for spice preference
  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound mussels scrubbed and debearded
  • 1 pound clams scrubbed
  • 1 pound firm white fish like cod or halibut, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Crusty bread for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), seafood stock, white wine, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the shrimp, mussels, clams, and fish to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels and clams have opened and the shrimp are pink and opaque. Discard any mussels or clams that do not open.
  5. Serve the cioppino hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For a richer broth, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste when you add the tomatoes.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • You can also customize the seafood based on what’s fresh or available, such as adding squid or scallops.
