How to Make Favorite Cioppino

  1. Clean 1 pound of mixed seafood (mussels, clams, shrimp, scallops, cod, etc.), discarding any that are damaged, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Sauté 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  3. Add 4 cups of fish stock, 1 cup of marinara sauce, and 1/2 cup of dry white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Cook for 2 more minutes.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then add the seafood.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through. Do not overcook!
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or tarragon, if desired). Serve with crusty garlic bread for dipping.
