Cioppino (Seafood Stew) Recipe ⬇️ This cozy stew has been my Holiday and tradition for 5 years, and I’ve never made it the same twice! Originating in 1800s San Francisco, cioppino was a way for fishermen to use up leftover catch—so use what you’ve got and like! Key Tips: 1️⃣ Make the stock first, then add seafood right before serving. 2️⃣ Use fresh, frozen, or a mix—whatever works for you! 3️⃣ Only add seafood per serving if you want leftovers; the stock reheats great, but seafood doesn’t. Ingredients (serves 5-6): • 2 tbsp olive oil • 1 bulb fennel or celery, diced • 1 onion, chopped • 4 garlic cloves, minced • 28 oz tomatoes (½ crushed, ½ diced) • 1 tbsp tomato paste • 1 tsp oregano or thyme • 1 bay leaf • ¼ cup parsley • 4 cups broth (seafood or chicken) • 1 cup white wine • 3 lbs seafood: shrimp, scallops, fish, clams/mussels Instructions: 1️⃣ Sauté fennel & onion in oil (8-10 min). Add garlic, tomato paste, herbs, and wine. 2️⃣ Add tomatoes, broth, and simmer 30-40 min (make ahead if needed). 3️⃣ Add seafood in order: fish (5-7 min), clams/mussels (5 min), shrimp/scallops (3-5 min). 4️⃣ Taste, adjust seasoning, and top with parsley. Serve with crusty bread & a simple salad. Save this for your next holiday or cozy night in!
