BRODETTO (FISH STEW) ANCONA-STYLE
Brodetto, a fish stew with a tomato base, is a specialty of the Marche region of Italy. There are several recipes for brodetto, even within the Marche. This recipe belongs to the province of Ancona. To make this recipe, I chose fish available in the southern United States.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, Dutch oven, or preferably a clay pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, bay leaves, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the mashed tomatoes and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat. Add the fish. Pour in the vinegar or wine. Cook until the liquid has almost evaporated, about 10 minutes; pour in the fish stock. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Gently mix in the clams. Cook until clams have opened (discard any that don't open) about 2 minutes, and then stir in the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp are pink, about 3 minutes.
- Place a slice of toasted bread in the bottom of each bowl. Ladle brodetto over the bread and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cook clams:
- In 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add garlic and sauté until golden brown, about three minutes. Add salt, pepper, and pepper flakes, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase heat to moderately high and add clams, white wine, 1 1/4 cups water, and thyme. Cover and bring to a boil. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until clams open, about 5 to 7 minutes. Discard clams that do not open after 8 minutes.
- While clams cook, grill bread:
- Preheat grill (high heat).
- Brush bread slices with olive oil on both sides and grill, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. (Alternately, bread may be toasted in broiler until golden brown and crispy.) Keep warm.
- When clams are cooked, stir in parsley. Serve clams with grilled bread.

Steps:
- 1. In a large pot over moderate heat, warm the oil. Sear the fish fillets until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Add the scallops, shrimp, squid, and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring very gently, until the garlic is aromatic, about 1 minute.
- 2. Add the saffron, clams, mussels, white wine, pepper flakes, tomatoes, about half the parsley, and half the basil. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes to begin cooking the seafood.
- 3. Add the fish stock or water to make the soup as brothy as you like. Return the liquids to a boil, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer until the clams and mussels are completely open, 4 to 5 minutes (discard any that do not open after that time).
- 4. Add the remaining parsley and basil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently ladle the soup into bowls, preserving as many whole pieces of fish as possible.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
- Add the butter, parsley sprigs, rosemary, thyme and chopped garlic to a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat and allow the butter to melt. Add the preserved lemon, Calabrian chiles and clams and stir to combine. Cover the clams with the wine, then bring to a simmer and allow the clams to open and the sauce to reduce, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the lemon halves and bread on the grill and allow to char all over, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove both from the grill. Rub each piece of bread with the whole clove of garlic and drizzle with the olive oil. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Remove the clams from the Dutch oven to a large serving bowl. Allow the sauce to reduce for another 2 minutes over high heat. Taste and adjust the sauce with salt, if needed. Add the charred lemon and bread to the serving bowl and pour over the reduced sauce, sprigs and all. Garnish with the chopped parsley.
