Hearty Cioppino
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 fennel bulb, cored and chopped
- 2 serrano chili peppers, seeded and chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 oranges or 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cups fish stock or 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 medium zucchini, cubed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 lb scallops, bay or 1 lb sea scallops, are fine
- 12 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 mussels, scrubbed and debearded
- 1 lb red snapper fillet, cut into large chunks
- Cook onion, fennel, and serrano chile peppers in oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven until onion is tender. Add bell pepper and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes and next 5 ingredients. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.
- Stir in zucchini and rosemary; bring to a simmer, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf. Stir in salt and pepper.
- Add scallops and shrimp, and cook 3 minutes. Add mussels and fish; cook 4 more minutes or until mussels open and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Its best if you cool it now and refrigerate over night to serve the next day -- the flavor intensifies while it sits overnight). Its fine if you want to go ahead and eat it -- it tastes great now! Serve with garlic bread or grilled focaccia.
