San Francisco Style Cioppino – Italian Seafood Stew
San Franciso Style Cioppino
If you like seafood, you will love this dish. Cioppino is an Italian seafood stew. The seasoning is simple and the choices for the seafood are many. This is an adaptation of a recipe by Giada De Laurentiis on the Food Network. I modified the spices and seafood selection for my personal preference, but the complex underlying flavors of the rich broth are all Giada's. Thanks Giada, this dish was a hit in my house.
Ingredients
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 1 fennel bulb thinly sliced
- 1 yellow onion medium, chopped

- Add the canned tomatoes (and juice), wine, seafood stock and bay leaf. Stir to combine. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
