Seafood Stew
dishes

Image by Neven Mrgan
1 12-oz can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp anchovy paste or 1 tsp mashed anchovies
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup red wine
1 cup vegetarian, beef or seafood stock
1 tsp cornstarch

1 tbsp chipotle hot sauce (Tabasco brand)
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp paprika
1 pinch saffron

1/4 lb mixed seafood, cleaned, cut to bite size (shrimp, mussels, octopus, fish. This is sometimes available in frozen mix packages.)
1 can smoked baby clams, drained

To taste: Crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper, seven-pepper blend, garlic salt
2 whole bay leaves, fresh parsley, basil, and marjoram

Heat the olive oil in a pot and sauté celery and onion in it for about 4 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute, then add the tomatoes (drained, reserving the water) and the anchovies. After 5 minutes add the tomato water and the wine. Add the bay leaves. Simmer for 15 minutes or until it’s reduced to soup consistency, then add the stock and reduce again.

Place saffron on a small piece of baking paper and toast it in the oven for about 2 minutes. (If it turns black and bitter, discard.) Powder with your fingers into the stew, then add the hot sauce, the lime juice, and all the seasonings and spices. I go heavy on the hot sauce myself.

Thaw the fresh or frozen seafood in the fridge or under a running (cold) tap. Remove the bay leaves from the stew with a spoon. Add the seafood to the stew, stir once, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the seafood is done. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tsp warm water, then stir into the stew.

Serve with garlic rolls.

This is an antique salt dish/cellar made in Japan between 1890 and 1920. This is indicated by the Nippon porcelain mark on the bottom. The mark itself indicates it was most likely made by Noritake.

Salt dishes were very popular on the Victorian woman’s dining table as a way to display a flair for the posh!

DEEP DISH

I’d never been to Chicago before. Nor had I ever had Chicago pizza. Having now tried it, I find it difficult to compare to the New York version. Apples and oranges, really. They’re two entirely different dishes made with similar sets of ingredients. Which may just be the east-coaster in me rationalizing the fact that this stuff is AMAZING.
