SEAFOOD STEW RECIPE for winners*

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Chicken broth is a more affordable option that can add depth to the stew.

fish stock

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon cubes

Using bouillon cubes is a cost-effective way to achieve a similar flavor.

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat.

Add chopped onions, hot peppers, celery, and salt; sauté until onions are soft and translucent.

Stir in finely chopped garlic and cook for a few minutes.

Add tomato paste and cook on the bottom of the pot until it gets nice and tomatoey.

Pour in 1 cup of white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any tomato paste stuck to the bottom.

Add bay leaves, oregano, thyme, and basil; rub the herbs between your hands as you add them.

Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld and the wine cook off.

Add 1 can of diced tomatoes, 2 cups of water, and 1 cup of chicken broth; raise the heat to bring to a bubble, then reduce to a simmer and cover for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, add 1 pound of chopped white fish, squid, shrimp, and clams; let simmer for about 7.5 minutes.

Turn off the heat and squeeze in juice from 1/2 a lemon before serving.
