1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup green chili, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon orange peel, grated
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, snipped
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained & cut into halves
24 soft-shell clams, scrubbed (steamers)
1 1/2 lbs raw shrimp, medium sized and shelled
1 lb cod, cut into 1-inch pieces (sea bass, mahimahi or red snapper fillets can be substituted for cod)
1 (6 ounce) package frozen crabmeat, thawed, drained & cartilage removed

Steps:

  • Cook & stir onion, chiles and garlic in oil in 6-quart Dutch oven until onion is tender.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients except for seafood.
  • Heat to boiling, reduce heat & simmer uncovered 15 minutes.
  • Add clams; cover & simmer until clams open, 5-10 minutes. (Discard any clams that have not opened.).
  • Carefully stir in shrimp, cod and crabmeat. Heat to boiling, reduce heat, cover & simmer until shrimp are pink and cod flakes easily with fork, about 4-5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables are more flavorful and nutritious than frozen or canned vegetables. If you can, buy your vegetables from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Chop your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the vegetables, as this can make them mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to your stew. Some good choices include bell peppers, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and corn.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your stew, so it's important to use a good one. You can use vegetable broth, chicken broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Season your stew to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of acidity, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to brighten up the flavors.
  • Simmer your stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
