Ingredients
  

  • For the Cacciucco
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 carrot diced
  • 1 celery stalk diced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust based on spice preference
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 4 cups fish stock or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup dry white wine like Pinot Grigio
  • 1 pound mixed seafood shrimp, mussels, clams, and fish such as cod or snapper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges (for serving)
  • For the Crostini
  • 1 baguette sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic halved

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Crostini
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the slices, making sure they’re lightly coated.
  • Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Rub the toasted bread with the halved garlic for added flavor. Set aside.
  • Step 2: Make the Cacciucco
  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  • Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they break down slightly.
  • Pour in the fish stock and white wine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add your seafood (shrimp, mussels, clams, and fish) to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels have opened.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let it stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Step 3: Serve
  • Ladle the Cacciucco into bowls, garnishing with chopped parsley.
  • Serve with crostini on the side for dipping.
