Recipe by Tom Moorman and Larry McGuire This stew uses bottled clam juice, a smart shortcut to a robust broth.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 2 8-ounce bottles clam juice
  • 4 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes; stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove pot from heat and add wine. Return pot to heat, bring to a boil, and cook until wine is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices, crushing with your hands as you add them.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15-20 minutes. Add clam juice, parsley, bay leaves, and 8 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors meld, 10-15 minutes more. Discard parsley sprigs and bay leaves. DO AHEAD: Broth can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool slightly; chill until cold. Cover and keep chilled. Reheat before continuing.
