Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
• 2 cups fish stock or clam juice
• 2 pieces bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1.5 pounds mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, cod, and mussels)
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 loaf crusty bread, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.

Step 5

Add the crushed tomatoes, fish stock (or clam juice), bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Add the mixed seafood to the pot and cover it with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is just cooked through and the mussels have opened (discard any mussels that remain closed).

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaves and ladle the cioppino into bowls.

Step 10

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread for dipping.
