Hi KidA, you've prompted me to add this one. This is a dinner-party staple of mine as its quite impressive served in a big bowl with loads of seafood (though I did used to serve over spaghetti... that bit's gone!) I adjusted slightly (only had to remove Olive Oil) and I've made a huge batch since starting Cruise and use it on PV days. Its great to have on hand. Will post in recipes too:
[FONT="]Dukanized Cioppino[/FONT]
[FONT="]1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves[/FONT]
[FONT="]1/2 cup fresh basil leaves[/FONT]
[FONT="]3 garlic cloves, peeled[/FONT]
[FONT="]1 medium onion chopped[/FONT]
[FONT="]2x400 g can chopped tomatoes, undrained [/FONT]
[FONT="]2 x Tbsp Tomato paste[/FONT]
[FONT="]2 cups water[/FONT]
[FONT="]¼ cup dry white wine[/FONT]
[FONT="]1 tbsp Splenda (or like)[/FONT]
[FONT="]2 tsp salt[/FONT]
[FONT="]1/4 tsp oregano (Mediterranean is BEST)[/FONT]
[FONT="]1/4 tsp pepper[/FONT]
[FONT="]Season to taste (I add cayenne for pep)[/FONT]
[FONT="]For Special Meal:[/FONT]
[FONT="]Seafood to add last[/FONT]
[FONT="]Need to be alive when bought and cleaned before cooking.[/FONT]
[FONT="]500g raw cleaned shrimp (I leave tails on when serving for a dinner party)[/FONT]
[FONT="]1 dozen mussels and 1 dozen clams if you can get [/FONT]
[FONT="]1kg white fish (deboned and cut into pieces) – use anything… haddock or cod[/FONT]
[FONT="]Directions[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Rub oil in large Dutch oven medium heat.[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Chop parsley and basil coarsely.[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Add garlic to electric chopper or food processor, then parsley and basil for a few seconds. Add all to pan.[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Pulse onion in processor and also add to oil[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Sauté about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Season to taste [/FONT]
- [FONT="]Add tomatoes, paste, water, wine, sugar, salt, oregano, and pepper to pot. Cover and simmer over medium to low heat for 30 minutes at least – I personally let them simmer for nearly 2 hours over low heat. (You can make this part a day ahead and refrigerate.)[/FONT]
[FONT="]I use the tomato base for loads of Dukan meals – meatballs, seafood, prawns only. Just heat up the (soup base) and then add meat or whatever you like or nothing at all – my daughter eats just like soup.[/FONT]
[FONT="]If you are making it proper for a special meal follow these instructions just before serving:[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Add clams and mussels to soup and simmer about 15 minutes or until shells pop open. Then add all remaining fish and shrimp and cook for 5-10 minutes more.[/FONT]
- [FONT="]Serve[/FONT]
