Method

Cooking the Cioppino

1

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until the onion is translucent.

2

Add the Tomatoes and Wine

Stir in the crushed tomatoes and white wine. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

3

Add the Seafood

Add the white fish, mussels, prawns, clams, and scallops to the pot. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the shells have opened.

4

Finish with Fresh Basil

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped basil. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Making the Crostini

5

Prepare the Baguette

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden.

6

Add Garlic Flavor

Remove the toasted baguette from the oven and rub the cut side of the halved garlic clove over the top of each slice for added flavor.
