Method

Seafood Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the seafood

    Rinse the red crab, mussels, and prawns under cold water. Remove any beards from the mussels and discard any that are open or broken. Cut the cod fillet into bite-sized pieces.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the sauce

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the San Marzano tomatoes, dry vermouth, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 3

    Add seafood

    Once the sauce is simmering, add the cleaned red crab, mussels, prawns, and cod pieces. Cover the pot and let the seafood cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mussels open and the prawns are pink and opaque.

Bread Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the garlic bread

    While the cioppino is cooking, preheat the grill or oven. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and spread the butter on each half. Optionally, you can add minced garlic to the butter for extra flavor. Grill or toast until golden brown.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the cioppino

    Once the seafood is cooked, ladle the cioppino into bowls and serve with the grilled garlic bread on the side.
