A Cheaper Cioppino image

Food columnist Renee Enna published this recipe which relies on less-expensive ingredients to create a toothsome fish stew. She suggests using whatever firm white fish is on sale, shredded crab to thicken the stew, and mushrooms to provide texture in place of shellfish. Serve with a crusty bread. I've made the salt optional and suggested low-sodium tomatoes to try to reduce the sodium level,

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon mixed Italian herbs
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
fresh ground black pepper
2 (16 ounce) cans low-sodium diced tomatoes, with their liquid
1/3 cup dry red wine (or to taste)
12 ounces white fish fillets (mahi-mahi, halibut, cod suggested)
1 (6 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 (6 ounce) can all-white crabmeat
8 -12 cooked shrimp, tails removed (optional)
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
chopped fresh parsley (garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven and add the onion; cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the mushrooms, Italian herbs, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper and cook until the mushrooms have softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and wine and heat to a boil.
  • Cut the fillets into chunks and stir into the soup, making sure all pieces are submerged. Reduce heat to a slow boil and cook until the fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the crabmeat, roasted red peppers and shrimp, if using. Continue to cook until just heated through, about 3 minutes.
  • Taste - if acidic, add the sugar.
  • Serve garnished with the parsley.
