Instructions
  1. Finely chop onion, garlic, celery and red pepper, then saute in olive oil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Cover mushrooms with boiling water and let sit 5 minutes. Mince mushrooms and parsley and add to pot.
  3. Add tomatoes, tomato juice, bay leaf, whole clove and red wine. Drain canned clams and add the liquid to the pot. Reserve clam meat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer sauce for 1 hour.
  4. Into simmering sauce layer your seafood in the following order: halibut, prawns, scallops, reserved clams, crab meat, clams/mussels. Put the lid on the pot and simmer about 10 minutes, or until clams/mussels have opened all the way. At this point all of the seafood should be cooked through and your Cioppino is ready to serve.
