Description
Easy Cioppino is a flavorful seafood stew made with a tomato-based broth, tender mixed seafood, and simple seasonings. It’s a comforting and elegant dish that’s surprisingly simple to make.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup fish stock or broth
- 1 pound mixed seafood (shrimp, fish, and clams)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
5. Mix in the fish stock or broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper to your preference.
7. Gently add your mixed seafood to the pot. Simmer for about 10–15 minutes, or until the clams have opened and the shrimp are cooked through.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, before serving.
Notes
Use fresh, sustainably sourced seafood for the best flavor and quality.
Let the broth simmer a bit longer if time allows for a richer, deeper flavor.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of spice.
Finish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added freshness.
Serve with crusty bread for dipping, or a side salad for a complete meal.
