Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Cioppino Seafood Stew.
Step 1
To start your delicious seafood stew, grab a large stockpot and melt some butter over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is bubbling gently, toss in the chopped onions, fresh parsley, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Sauté these aromatic ingredients for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onions become soft and translucent, filling your kitchen with a delightful fragrance.
Step 4
Next, add the stewed tomatoes to the pot, breaking them into chunks as you go.
Step 5
This will create a rich base for your stew.
Step 6
Stir in the chicken broth, a splash of white wine, and a bit of water, then add the bay leaves, dried basil, thyme, and oregano.
Step 7
Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30 minutes, allowing all those wonderful flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 8
After the time is up, it’s time to introduce the star of the show! Gently add the cubed cod, shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, and crabmeat to the pot.
Step 9
Bring the mixture to a lively boil, then reduce the heat, cover it up, and let it simmer until the clams open up, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 10
Once the clams have opened, it’s time to ladle your steaming Cioppino into bowls.
Step 11
Serve it hot and enjoy every spoonful of this hearty seafood delight!.
