Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easy Cioppino
- In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, and thyme. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release browned bits. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes and seafood or fish stock. Add bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Gently fold in mussels and clams, cover tightly, and cook for about 5 minutes until shellfish have opened. Discard any that remain closed.
- Stir in shrimp, fish fillets, and scallops. Cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes until shrimp turn pink and fish flakes easily.
- Remove bay leaf and ladle Easy Cioppino into bowls, garnishing with parsley and serving with lemon wedges.
