Okay, on our primary blog we have definitely made a cioppino. (In fact, I believe it was one of our first posts.) However, I wanted to shout out another cioppino recipe that's a little less time-intensive and a fantastic weeknight "impress your last minute guests" type meal.
I pretty much followed the recipe exactly and it came out stupendous! (Also, this easily serves 6-8 unless you're feeding a group of football players or something.) For the fish stock, I used water and that "Better than Bouillon" lobster base. I used 1 red onion and 1 fennel bulb and followed the instructions. I did let it simmer on the stove for no more than the 30 minutes while I tidied up the kitchen and set the table. I only used mussels, clams, and shrimp but that was plenty! Cooking instructions for the fish were spot-on and the meal was a huge success! And they were TONS of leftovers, so I saved the sauce/broth/whatever you want to call it and put it over gnocchi the next day!
