RECIPE

PLACE THE DISCARDED PEACES OF SQUID AND PRAWNS IN A FOUR QUART SAUCE PAN WITH WATER AND SALT. BRING TO BOIL.

---

IN A LARGE FRY PAN, OVER MEDIUM HEAT, PLACE THE OLIVE OIL, ONION, GARLIC, RED PEPPER AND SAGE

---

ADD THE PARSLEY AND COOK UNTIL THE ONION IS TRANSLUCENT

---

ADD THE FISH AND STIR. COOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES

---

ADD THE RED WINE AND COOK 5 ABOUT MINUTES LONGER

---

ADD THE DICED TOMATOES AND TOMATO PASTE

---

ADD THE BROTH YOU MADE WITH THE DISCARDED PARTS OF THE FISH. ABOUT 2 CUPS, ENOUGH TO COVER THE FISH

---

COOK UNTIL THE LIQUID IS REDUCED, BUT IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DRY, ABOUT 1 HOUR OR UNTIL THE FISH IS TENDER. IF IT DRIES TOO MUCH ADD MORE BROTH.

---

RUB THE GARLIC ON THE TOASTED BREAD

---

PLACE THE BREAD IN THE DISHES

---

COVER THE BREAD WITH FISH AND SERVE THE CACCIUCCO HOT.
​THIS RECIPE IS MADE WITH FISH THAT DO NOT HAVE FISHBONES, BUT THE ORIGINAL RECIPE CALLS FOR THEM. I PERSONALLY PREFER NOT HAVING TO LOOK FOR FISHBONES IN MY CACCIUCCO.
