This rich and flavorsome seafood stew hails from the beautiful coastal city of Livorno in Tuscany, Italy. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of preparing the perfect Livornese style Cacciucco right in your own kitchen.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 500g mixed seafood (such as clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, and firm white fish fillets)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 carrot, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 400g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup fish or vegetable stock
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried chili flakes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, chopped carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Add the canned chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, dried chili flakes, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and let it cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 3: Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes until the alcohol evaporates.

Step 4: Gradually add the fish or vegetable stock to the pot. Stir and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5: Reduce the heat to low and add the mixed seafood to the pot. Be sure to clean and debeard the mussels, if necessary. Cover the pot and let the seafood simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until the clams and mussels have opened and the fish is cooked through. Discard any unopened shells.

Step 6: Remove the bay leaf from the pot. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed.
