Cioppino Recipe

Cioppino is a seafood stew dish that originated from San Francisco, California. Italian immigrants were the first to come-up with this wonderful seafood concoction. It is composed of seven different kinds of ingredients from the sea, six are seafood and the other component is fish steak or fish fillet; these are shrimp, squid, sea scallops, mussels, clam, crab, and fish steaks. These ingredients remind me of seafood kare-kare.

Cioppino can be considered as a Christmas dish because it is usually served during this season. It might not be that cheap judging from the ingredients, but I think that it is well worth the cost.

How do you eat Cioppino? It is simply enjoyed just like any other stew. You can place it in a bowl and then serve it with toasted sourdough bread. You can drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil on the slice of bread for better results.

I like Cioppino because it is delicious. Make sure not to overcook the seafood and fish so that you can enjoy it better. A serving of Cioppino with a slice of  sourdough bread can be considered as a light meal. I was able to finish the entire serving without feeling bloated.
