CIOPPINO: A FINE KETTLE OF FISH



Cioppino: A Fine Kettle of Fish image

I am half Sicilian, so a large part of the family does "The Seven Fishes" on Christmas Eve. I do not have the patience to make seven dishes. I make this instead - it uses five varieties of seafood, all in one pot. Now that's a happy holiday!

Time 40m

Yield 4 healthy servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup (3 turns around the pan in a slow stream) extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 to 3 flat fillets of anchovies, drained
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup good quality dry white wine
1 (14-ounce) container chicken stock
1 (32-ounce) can chunky style crushed tomatoes
4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed (about 1 tablespoon)
1 handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 1/2 pounds cod, cut into 2-inch chunks
Salt and pepper
8 large shrimp, ask for deveined easy-peel or peel and devein
8 sea scallops
16 to 20 raw mussels, scrubbed
A loaf of fresh, crusty bread, for mopping

Steps:

  • In a large pot over moderate heat combine oil, crushed pepper, anchovies, garlic, and bay. Let anchovies melt into oil. The anchovies act as a natural salt, the pepper flakes will infuse the oil, providing heat.
  • Chop celery and onion near stove and add to the pot as you work. Saute vegetables for a few minutes to begin to soften and add wine to the pot. Reduce wine a minute, then add chicken stock, tomatoes, thyme, and parsley. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to medium low.
  • Season fish chunks with salt and pepper. Add fish and simmer 5 minutes, giving the pot a shake now and then. Do not stir your soup with a spoon after the addition of fish or you will break it up. Add shrimp, scallops, and mussels and cover pot. Cook 10 minutes, giving the pot a good shake now and again.
  • Remove the lid and discard any mussels that do not open. Carefully ladle stew into shallow bowls and pass bread at the table.

KETTLE BEEF

Upon moving to SEMO I discovered a wonderful dish that is served at almost every potluck, church dinner, organized meeting there is. Finding someone to share their recipe is like pulling a horses' tooth. I was able to piece together this recipe and it worked out very well! I am not shy or stingy, I'll share my recipes! Enjoy! *Note - if you can locate LOW SODIUM mixes use them. I find the regular mixes are just too salty for our taste and health.
