Betsy’s No Garlic Cioppino Fantastico!

By Betsy Vail 05/19/2015

Ingredients:

  • 2+ Tbs butter
  • 2 lbs. thoroughly cleaned seafood mix of your choice 
    • Firm white fish (I like mahi mahi or cod)
    • Shrimp
    • Scallops
    • Mussels
    • Clams
    • Calamari
    • Crab
    • Lobster
  • 6+ cups Betsy's No Garlic Sensationally Saucy Tomato Marinara 
  • 2 c organic chicken broth
  • 2 c Sauvignon Blanc (for darker color and more robust flavor) or Muscato (for a lighter color and sweeter flavor)

Directions:

  1. In a large stew pot, heat the marinara sauce on medium heat and add the chicken broth and Sauvignon Blanc. 
  2. While the marinara is heating, briefly sauté the seafood mix in butter until it begins to turn opaque. Do not cook the seafood all the way through. Note: if a less "fishy" flavor is preferred, sauté the seafood until cooked in the sauté pan and omit the juices from the marinara in the next step.
  3. Add the seafood and juices to the marinara to complete the cooking process. Check often to be sure the seafood does not get overcooked. 
  4. Depending on the amount and type of seafood added, seasonings such as the oregano, onion powder, or salt may need to be adjusted to taste. A pat of butter or pinch of organic coconut (or brown) sugar may be added to balance flavors.
