How to Cook Like an Italian: Part 4 🇮🇹
Cacciucco is Tuscany’s most-iconic seafood stew, made with a bold broth of tomatoes, garlic, sage, chili and wine that is slowly simmered until it becomes thick and saucy. In Italy, it comes together with whatever the fishermen would find in the Mediterranean Sea. Gabe, who grew up in a family of sailors, makes this version with monkfish, shrimp, mussels and calamari. Gabe serves the stew with a classic toasted bread rubbed with garlic called Fett’unta.
