Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

4 T olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 bulb fennel, chopped
2 sticks celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
½ t chilli flakes
1 t dried oregano
1 T tomato paste
1 x 400 g can crushed tomatoes
1 cup white wine
2 bay leaves
1½ cups vegetable or seafood stock
12 Woolworths uncooked extra-large black tiger prawns, thawed
500 g Woolworths kingklip portions, thawed
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 pizza bases, for serving

Method

1. Heat 2 T oil in a large pan and add the onion, fennel and celery. Cook gently until soft.

2. Add the garlic, chilli flakes, oregano, tomato paste, tomatoes, wine, bay leaves and stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 30 minutes, then season to taste.

3. Add the prawns and fish and simmer for 5 minutes. Fry the pizza bases in the remaining oil until golden and serve with the cioppino.

Cook's note: Seafood is big in the southern region of Italy, and the variety of fish available to the area has resulted in several fish-based broths and stews called cioppino. Try our interpretation of a cioppino below – different versions featuring local ingredients can be found throughout Italy.
