Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Seafood

Rinse and prepare all seafood, ensuring clams and mussels are scrubbed clean. Set aside.

Sauté Aromatics

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Add Stock and Marinara

Pour in fish stock and marinara sauce. Stir in dried oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

Cook the Seafood

Add cod fillets to the pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Next, add shrimp, clams, and mussels. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the shells have opened.

Optional Pasta and Sausage

If using, cook pasta according to package instructions in a separate pot. In the same pot, brown Italian sausage until fully cooked, then combine with the cioppino.

Finish and Serve

Stir in fresh parsley and basil just before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with crusty bread.
