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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, grated
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (11-ounce) box fish sticks (18 sticks)
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese, divided
1/2 cup shredded basil, about 10 leaves
6 pita breads
Olive oil cooking spray
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 roasted red peppers, drained, pat dry and chopped
1 small jar marinated mushrooms, drained and chopped
1 can artichoke hearts in water, drained, quartered
1/2 cup chopped pitted good quality olives

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat a small sauce pot with oil over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed pepper flakes and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Simmer a few minutes.
Arrange the fish sticks in a baking dish and pour half the sauce over the fish - reserve the rest to pass at the dinner table. Scatter 1/2 cup provolone cheese and the Parmesan over the fish and bake 18 minutes until fish is crispy and cheese has melted. Garnish with lots of fresh shredded basil.
While fish bakes, cut the pita breads into wedges, 6 per pita, using a knife or kitchen scissors. Scatter the pita on a baking sheet, spray the bread wedges with olive oil cooking spray and season with garlic powder and dried oregano and bake 10 to 12 minutes until crisp. Remove pita chips and cover with roasted red peppers, mushrooms, artichokes, olives and remaining 1 cups provolone cheese. Place the nachos back in the oven 5 minutes to melt cheese then serve.
