Sample Recipe: FISH STEW

This is a quick, super-yummy and filling version of San Franciscoâ€™s traditional Cioppino. You can make the fish stock yourself using the recipe in our book, or you can find prepared versions in the freezer section of your supermarket. Another option would be to use 1/2 bottled clam juice and 1/2 vegetable stock.

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil , divided
1 large Onion, chopped
7 cloves Garlic, chopped
Â¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
2 cups Canned Diced Tomatoes with juice
5-1/2 cups Fish Stock
1 large Bay Leaf
1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
3 pounds fresh or frozen/thawed firm white fish such as Cod, Bass, Halibut or Haddock
Â¼ cup chopped fresh Parsley
3 tablespoons chopped Fresh Tarragon
5-10 drops Tabasco, or to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large, deep pot. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and cook onion until soft (about 4 minutes). Add garlic and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
2. Add tomatoes, fish stock, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper to pot; bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 10 to 15 minutes).
3. In the meantime, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat in a large non-stick sautÃ© pan. Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side).
4. Decrease heat under pot to low and add cooked fish along with parsley and tarragon, using a spoon to break up the fish into bite-size pieces as it cooks.
5. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and Tabasco as desired. Serve hot.
