Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup canned crushed tomatoes (such as San Marzano)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 cups water
1 (8 ounce) fillet sea bass
8 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces calamari rings and tentacles
12 mussels, cleaned and debearded
12 clams in shell, scrubbed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ bulb fennel - cored, thinly sliced, and fronds reserved
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
salt to taste
½ cup white wine
¼ cup freshly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and water in a measuring cup or bowl. Puree using an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Cut sea bass into roughly 1 1/2-inch chunks to match the other seafood in size. Place fish, shrimp, calamari, mussels, and clams in individual dishes so they're ready to use.
  • Melt butter and olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced fennel, garlic, and salt; cook and stir until garlic takes on color, about 1 minute. Stir in white wine. Let simmer until reduced by about 1/2, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomato broth base; bring to a boil. Continue to boil until fennel is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Stir in parsley, bass, shrimp, and calamari. Add clams and mussels. Cover, increase heat to high, and cook until clam and mussel shells open and fish, shrimp, and calamari are opaque, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to warm serving bowls. Garnish with reserved fennel fronds and serve.

GREEK FISHERMAN'S STEW



Greek Fisherman's Stew image

It's summer, and no matter what you choose to drink, your plate should be bright with ripe beefsteak tomatoes and basil. If those treasures of the season complement a piece of fish, so much the better. Consider a kakavia, something Greek fishermen may assemble right on their boats, adding ingredients in fairly quick order as they cook in a round-bottomed pot also called a kakavia. It's a dish that welcomes wines that are clean-cut but with lip-smacking acidity balanced by sunny suggestions of melon and tropical fruit, like Austrian rieslings.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup mayonnaise seasoned with 1 1/2 teaspoons sriracha or other hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

12 to 16 large sea scallops, foot trimmed and scored on 1 side with small cross-hatch pattern using sharp paring knife
Vermouth, for deglazing
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Place the mushrooms in a small pot, and cover with 1 cup of the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook to soften the mushrooms, 10 minutes. Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and reserve both for later use.
  • Heat a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the EVOO and the garlic, celery, bay leaves, carrots, fennel, onions, herb bundle and some salt and pepper. Cook partially covered 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Then add the wine, tomatoes and the remaining 2 cups chicken stock. Add the porcinis and their stock, minus the last few spoonfuls where grit may have settled. Simmer to thicken a bit and combine flavors then cool and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat with the pistachio nuts and toast until fragrant and golden. Finely chop or process in a food processor into coarse crumbs. Return the pan to heat and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter. Add the panko and toast until deep golden in color. Combine with the chopped nuts and season with salt and pepper or seafood seasoning. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
  • When ready to serve, remove the bay leaves and herb bundle. Reheat the stew, covered, over medium heat.
  • Pat the fish and sea scallops dry. Heat a drizzle of oil or thin layer of cooking spray over medium-high to high heat in each of the 2 skillets. Sprinkle the halibut with some seafood seasoning, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the scallops with a little salt. Cook the halibut seasoned-side down for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until opaque, 2 minutes more. Turn off the heat and reserve the fish in the pan. Cook the scallops scored-side down until the sugars develop and caramelize, then flip and cook 1 minute more. Remove to a plate and deglaze the pan with some vermouth. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and then add the parsley and lemon juice.
  • Cut the halibut into chunks. Ladle the stew into bowls and nestle in the halibut and scallops. Top with vermouth and lemon sauce and garnish with the pistachio breadcrumbs.
