Steps:

• Get yourself a large heavy-based saucepan, heat the oil and fry the garlic and onion on a low to medium heat for a couple of minutes
• Add the tomatoes and a little water and cook for around 10 minutes
• Season the fish with salt and then add it to the saucepan and mix the fish with the garlic, onion and tomatoes
• Add water so that it covers the fish
• Pour in the vinegar and pepper and simmer. You want the stew just simmering
• Allow the fish to cook for 20 minutes giving the saucepan the occasional shake. DO NOT stir as you will break the fish
• Check the seasoning. Add more salt and pepper if required
• It's now time to put your scampi into the saucepan - throw them in one-by-one
• After five mins, check on the progress of your fish. It should be close to being done - however, this will vary depending on the type and size of the fish. Leave the fish for as long as it needs to be cooked through
• Approx five minutes before this fish is cooked, toss in your mussels and parsley
• Serve the brodet with creamy polenta and garnish with some parsley

WHITE SEAFOOD BRODETTO

Steps:

• Season the swordfish with salt. Pour some flour on a plate and dredge the swordfish in the flour. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the swordfish until golden on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium; add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pot. Add the garlic, onion and red pepper flakes and cook about 3 minutes. Season with salt and add the wine. Cover and cook, stirring a few times, until the onion is tender, about 5 more minutes.
• Add the seafood to the pot in layers, starting with the clams, then the shrimp, calamari rings and tentacles, and the swordfish. Cover and cook until the clams have just opened, about 6 minutes. Lightly stir, cover again and simmer 5 more minutes. Discard any clams that do not open. Stir in the butter, parsley, vinegar and salt to taste. Serve with bread.
