Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces smoked andouille sausage, diced (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 bell peppers, red and/or green, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
One 8-ounce bottle clam juice
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 pound firm white fish, such as halibut, grouper or black sea bass, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp (21 to 25 shrimp)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Kosher salt
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Cook the sausage until browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted and the meat is well coated, about 2 minutes. Add the Cajun seasoning, garlic, peppers and onions and continue to cook until the vegetables are softened, 5 minutes. Add the clam juice, tomatoes and 4 cups water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, and increase the heat to bring to a simmer.

Cook, making sure the stew is not bubbling vigorously, stirring once or twice, until the shrimp and fish have just turned opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Season with salt and serve over rice.

Provided by Mary Sue Milliken

Categories     Soup/Stew     Olive     Tomato     Sauté     Stew     Sausage     Clam     Fennel     Bell Pepper     Zucchini     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups bottled clam juice
1 pound small clams, scrubbed
1 1/2 cups matchstick-size strips fennel (about 1 bulb)
1 cup matchstick-size strips red bell pepper (about 1/2 large pepper)
1/2 cup matchstick-size strips zucchini (about 1 small)v
1 pound mussels, scrubbed, debearded
1 pound smoked linguiça or chorizo sausage, cut into matchstick-size strips
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted, halved
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 2 minutes. Add tomatoes; sauté 4 minutes. Increase heat to high; add wine. Boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add clam juice; simmer 3 minutes. Add clams; cover and cook 3 minutes. Mix in fennel, bell pepper, and zucchini. Add mussels, sausage, and olives. Cover; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until shellfish open, about 5 minutes (discard any that do not open). Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your stew will taste. Look for fresh, plump shellfish and sausage, and use a good quality olive oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the shellfish and sausage, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
  • Cook the shellfish and sausage until they're just cooked through: Overcooked shellfish and sausage are tough and chewy. Cook them just until they're cooked through to preserve their tender texture.
  • Add the vegetables and cook until they're tender: The vegetables in this stew should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Cook them until they're just tender, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that's made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Season the stew to taste: Once the stew is finished, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or chili powder if desired.
