Seafood Stew with Drawn Buttered Toast
- 1 sourdough loaf, cut into 1-inch slices
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 poblano peppers, stemmed, seeded, and diced
- 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 large tomatoes, cored and diced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 (15-ounce) cans seafood stock
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 pounds haddock or other flaky white fish, cut into 3-inch pieces
- 1 pound mussels, scrubbed and beards removed
- 8 ounces scallops, halved if large
- Position a rack 4 inches from the broiler heat source and preheat the oven to broil.
- Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepot over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, peppers, garlic, and a generous pinch of salt.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Add the stock and 3 cups water and bring to a boil.
- While the liquids are coming up to a boil, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and continue simmering until all the foam rises to the surface.
- Remove from the heat and skim off and discard the foam.
- Drizzle the butter remaining in the saucepan all over the bread slices.
- When the liquids in the pot come to a boil, add the fish, mussels, and scallops.
- Cover and cook until the mussels open and the fish and scallops are just opaque throughout, about 3 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt.
- While the seafood cooks, broil the buttered bread until golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Serve the hot stew with the hot buttered toast.
