Molise-Style Fish Stew

Serves: 6

Print this Recipe

(Zuppa di Pesce alla Marinara)
Category: Mixed Seafood
Molise-style fish stew differs from that of other regions because of the presence of a large amount of sweet green peppers. Use the long Italian frying peppers or green bell peppers. Ideally you would make this with as wide a variety of fish as possible, but I have made it with only calamari (squid) and monkfish and it was very good. Molise cooks might use lobster, octopus, and rockfish or other firmfleshed varieties.


   1/4 cup olive oil
   1 1/2 pounds Italian frying peppers, seeded, and chopped
   1 onion, chopped
   Salt
   2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
   1/2 pound squid (calamari), cut into rings
   1 pound firm white fish steaks or fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
   1/2 pound medium shrimp, shelled, deveined, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
   2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
   6 to 12 slices Italian breads, toasted
   Extra-virgin olive oil


1 In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in the peppers, onion, and salt to taste. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.

2 Scrape the contents of the pan into a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Add the vinegar and salt to taste and process again briefly to blend.

3 Scrape the pepper and onion mixture back into the saucepan. Add 1 to 2 cups water or enough to make the liquid as thick as heavy cream. Bring it to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add the calamari and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.

4 Add the fish chunks and the shrimp. Cook until the fish is just cooked, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Serve hot with toasted bread and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
