I wanted to make a cioppino, but didn't have all the ingredients for any recipe. So I made this-hence the title. I had to use that package of seafood mix somehow. This is very good; DH does not love seafood and yet liked it. Seafood mix is a combo of fish, squid, mussels and fake crab. It's found in the seafood freezer section. Serve with crackers or croutons.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can no-salt tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon oregano
3/4 teaspoon thyme
1 small bay leaf (or half of a large one)
1/8 teaspoon sugar (or a large pinch)
pepper, a few dashes
worcestershire sauce, a few dashes
16 ounces mixed seafood
Directions:
1. Defrost seafood mix. Drain. Separate the squid from the rest of it.
2. Put olive oil in pot; heat over medium.
3. Chop onion and mince garlic. Add to oil. Saute, stirring, until onion starts to get translucent. Do not let the garlic or onions brown.
4. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, oregano, thyme, bay leaf, sugar, pepper and Worcesterwhire. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 20 minutes.
5. Remove lid. Put in seafood mix (all except squid). Simmer 3 minutes. Add squid and simmer 1 or 2 more minutes. Seafood should be opaque; nothing should be translucent.
