Quick Slap-Dash Cioppino

Submitted by KVasanth

"I was craving this dish, but didn't have a whole lot of time after work and with a toddler to contend with. Now, I'm not saying this is the best cioppino ever, but it is entirely adequate for a quick and healthy meal. If you grate all your veggies, prep your fish and throw everything in the pot, it cooks up in no time. Serve with a great crusty loaf of bread."

• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 cup carrot, shredded
• 1 cup onion, shredded
• 1⁄2 cup celery, shredded
• 1⁄2 cup bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons garlic, diced
• 1 (14 ounce) jar chicken stock
• 1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
• 1 (20 ounce) bottle red wine
• 1⁄2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄2 lb salmon, cut into 2-inch piecees
• 1⁄4 lb white fish, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1⁄4 lb shrimp
• 1⁄2 cup squid ring
• 1⁄2 cup scallops
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Grate your veggies, and saute over med-high heat until transluscent.
2. Add in the rest of the ingredients up to the fish. Bring to a boil, then stir and reduce over medium heat until desired consistency/flavor.
3. Add in fish in the order laid out, with the scallops going in the very last- these should cook for only a few minutes (only just cooked through), as any longer will give you rubbery white pellets.
4. Season to taste.
