Рецепт Quick and Easy Cioppino
We spent last weekend at a friend’s house in Newport, Oregon. Since we were at the coast I thought it would be fun to make this delicious cioppino — a tomato-based fish stew that originated in San Francisco — for dinner. It was a perfect meal after a day spent walking along the beach and searching for hidden treasures in the sand.
I used 1 lb. of cod and a thawed bag of Trader Joe’s Frozen Seafood Blend (shrimp, scallops, calamari rings) for the stew. It only takes a few minutes for the seafood to cook so be careful not to overcook it.
Garnish each serving with chopped parsley and serve with a green salad and crusty sourdough bread. Enjoy!

The legacy of San Francisco’s Italian and Portuguese immigrants—many of them fishermen—lives on in this fuss-free take on the North Beach favorite, with fresh fennel adding a subtle touch of anise to the tomato-based seafood stew. Makes 4 servings.
- 1 fennel bulb, stalks discarded and bulb cut lengthwise into 6 wedges
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes in juice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup full-bodied red wine such as Zinfandel or Syrah
- 1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice
- 1 pound skinless fillets of thick white-fleshed fish such as halibut, hake, or pollack, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 pound cultivated mussels
Pulse fennel, onion, and garlic in a food processor until coarsely chopped.
Heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then stir in chopped vegetables, bay leaves, thyme, red-pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring once or twice, until vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
Add tomatoes with their juice, water, wine, and clam juice and boil, covered, 20 minutes. Stir in seafood and cook, uncovered, until fish is just cooked through and mussels open wide, 4 to 6 minutes (discard any that remain unopened after 6 minutes). Discard bay leaves.
