SEAFOOD CIOPPINO

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil, and saute the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and chile pepper until tender. Add parsley, salt and pepper, basil, oregano, thyme, tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, paprika, cayenne pepper, and juice from the clams. Stir well, reduce heat, and simmer 1 to 2 hours, adding wine a little at a time.

CROCK POT CIOPPINO (FISHERMAN'S STEW)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except seafood in crock pot. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
• About 30 minutes before serving, add seafood. Turn crock pot on high and stir gently once or twice.
• Serve with sourdough bread.
• Water can be added to thin the stew, but I leave it thick.
• Special notes:
• We doubled the recipe to feed about 6-7 adults + 1 child.
• We used a 5-6 quart Crockpot and it was very full.
• We used 1lb of bagged frozen shrimp, thawed. (Costco)
• 1lb. bagged frozen scallops, thawed. (Costco)
• I can't remember what fish we used, a hearty one that will hold up.
• We bought our mussels at price chopper because Costco only sells them in 4lb bags.
• We omitted the clams
• Cooking note: the seafood cooled down the sauce significantly when added at the end. I remember it took quite a bit longer than 30 minutes to cook the seafood and we even ended up turning it up, so I would allow more time and put it in earlier.
