Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 cups fennel bulb , white part only, cut into ½-inch dice
- 1 ½ cup yellow onion , 1 large, cut into ½-inch dice
- 3 garlic cloves , pressed or minced
- 1 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups seafood stock
- 1 ½ cups dry white wine , such as Pinot Grigio
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound cod fillets , skin removed, cut into 2-inch dice
- 1 pound large shrimp , peeled and deviened
- 1 pound sea scallops , halved crosswise
- 1 dozen mussels , scrubbed
- 1 dozen littleneck clams , or other small clam
- 1 tablespoon anise flavored liqueur , such as Pernod or Pastis
- 3 tablespoons parsley , minced
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the fennel and onion and sauté for 10 minutes, until tender.
- Stir in the garlic, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes, stock, wine, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Add the seafood in the following order: first the cod, then the shrimp, scallops, and finally the mussels. Do not stir. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat, cover and cook for 10 minutes until the seafood is cooked and the shellfish open.
- Stir in the liqueur, being careful not to break up the fish; cover and set aside for 3 minutes for the flavors to blend. Discard any mussels that have not opened.
- Ladle into large, shallow bowls, sprinkle with parsley and serve with slices of sourdough baguette.
Notes
- To make this cioppino even faster to cook on weeknights or for an easy get together, prepare the soup base up to 2 days before, refrigerate, then reheat and add the seafood before serving.
