Ingredients

4 T olive oil

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

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.
