4 servings

Ingredients:

250grams squid cut into pieces

350grams prawns

300grams octopus, cut into cubes

300grams mussels

250grams cherry tomatoes

300grams clams

1 glass white wine

extra virgin olive oil

hot pepper

chopped parsley

garlic

Take a large frying pan and stir fry the garlic and the hot chili pepper with some olive oil on a slow fire.

Drain the clams you have left ​​at least one night in a bowl filled with water and salt to remove any grit, and add them into the pan. 

Cook for a few minutes adding a glass of white wine.

As soon as the clams are open, add the mussels and cook for a few minutes before adding the squid and prawns too.

Keep over a low heat and stir occasionally. In a pressure cooker filled with water, boil the octopus for 40 minutes and then cut it into small cubes and add it to the rest of the fish in the pan.

Now cut the tomatoes in half and place them into the pan and mix everything thoroughly in order to cook everything well.

Meanwhile cook the spaghetti and when they are cooked, drain them and add them to the prepared fish, sauté for a few seconds and sprinkle with some parsley. Serve hot.

Cacciucco

My favourite Tuscan food is "Cacciucco". This dish is typical of Livorno but is cooked everywhere in Tuscany. It is prepared with different kinds of fishes, in fact we use cuttlefish, shellfish and crustaceans. Other ingredients for the sauce are: garlic, chilli, olive oil, tomatoes, onions and parsley. This is a sort of broth that we eat with toasted bread. For the preparation, first wash and slice the fish in two or three pieces, then put them in a pot with oil on the fire. Then, add chopped garlic and chilli and cook for about 20 minutes. After that add the tomatoes, the onions and some salt and continue to cook for another 15 minutes. Finally, toast some slices of bread and rub them with another clove of garlic. Put the slices of toastes bread into the dish and cover it with the fish sauce. Add a pinch of parsley before serving. This food is very good and tasty and I recommend it to people who love fish.
