INGREDIENTS

Best Seafood Stew Ever

DIRECTIONS

  • In a heavy 6-quart stockpot, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add onion. Cook until transparent but not brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, celery, bell pepper, garlic, chives and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high.
  • Add wine to pot. Cook and stir until most of the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes. Add fish or chicken stock and clam juice. Bring mixture to a boil. Simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, approximately 20 minutes. Season with salt. Remove stew from heat.
  • Remove 6 cups stew from pot and set aside to cool slightly, approximately 10 minutes. Place cooled stew in a blender or food processor. Purée stew until smooth.
  • Return puréed stew to stockpot with the rest of the stew. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, scallops, and fish or crabmeat to pot. Bring stew just to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until raw seafood is cooked and cooked seafood is heated through, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add yogurt, if desired. Return stew to a simmer.
  • Add parsley. Simmer stew for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
