Seafood Stew with Cabbage and Carrots

This savory, French-inspired dish is also delicious made with mussels instead of, or in addition to, the clams. Either way, it's good with crusty bread to soak up the broth, and a glass of spicy white wine.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups bottled clam juice
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup Riesling wine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
12 clams, scrubbed
10 ounces orange roughy fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 large uncooked shrimp, peeled, deveined
6 large sea scallops
1/3 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage (about 1/2 medium head)
1 large carrot, peeled, grated

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Boil clam juice, onion, Riesling, garlic and thyme in heavy Dutch oven 15 minutes. Add clams. Cover and cook until clams open, about 6 minutes. Using tongs, transfer clams to bowl. Discard any clams that do not open. Add fish, shrimp and scallops to Dutch oven and simmer until seafood is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fish, shrimp and scallops to bowl with clams. Add cream and boil until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 25 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and carrot and sauté until cabbage wilts, about 4 minutes.

    Step 3

    Return shellfish mixture to Dutch oven and stir to heat through. Divide cabbage mixture between 2 shallow soup bowls. Ladle shellfish stew over.

An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
