Mediterranean fish stew with shrimp, clams, and calamari in a flavorful tomato broth.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 1 medium onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup fish stock
  • 10 ounces white fish, cut into small chunks
  • 1 pound clams in shell, scrubbed
  • 10 ounces uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces cleaned calamari, sliced into thin rings
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 0.5 lemon, juiced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large pot, submerge the potatoes in salted water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, sauté onion and crushed red pepper in olive oil until onion is soft, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-high and toss in the tomatoes, reserved potatoes, and white wine. Let it all come to a simmer. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, smashing the tomatoes with a spoon. Then add the fish stock and let it simmer again.
  • Gently place white fish into the pot, submerging them in the flavorful broth. Allow to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Next, introduce the clams, shrimp, and calamari. Simmer until the shrimp turn pink and the clams pop open, which should take 3 to 5 minutes. Remember to dispose of any unopened clams before serving.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and gently incorporate fragrant basil, fresh parsley, tangy lemon juice, and zesty lemon zest. Transfer the soup into bowls for a delightful presentation.
