Crab Cioppino

Course Main Dish, Soup
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 4 People

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. Coleson's Catch King Crab Legs or assorted firm fish and shellfish (crab prawns, mussels, clams, squid, chilean sea bass)
  • 1 Yellow Onion diced
  • 1/4 c. combination of fresh basil thyme and oregano
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 c. red wine
  • 1/2 c. tomato paste
  • 1 Carrot diced
  • 4 qt. canned tomatoes diced
  • 1 c. clam juice or chicken stock
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients except fish in a heavy pan. Simmer for at least one hour.
  • If you wish to reduce the acidity caused by the tomato paste, add two tablespoons of granulated sugar before adding fish.
  • Use a combination of fish that suits your taste.
  • If you don't want to struggle with the shells of the prawns and crab, peel them before cooking. The items suggested above hold up well.
  • Cut fish into pieces similar in size to prawns to allow all to cook in approximately the same amount of time.
  • Fish should cook in 10-15 minutes.
  • Do not overcook.

Notes

Serve in either individual bowls or in a tureen. Serve garlic bread or garlic cheese bread as an accompaniment.
