Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a wide, deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped red and white onions, pressed garlic, and minced cilantro. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in roasted red bell pepper, roasted Anaheim chile, and roasted jalapeño chile.
  4. Add chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and toast the spices for 1 minute.
  5. Add peeled and chopped tomatoes and green salsa. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the tomatoes break down into a pulp.
  6. When the mixture starts to stick to the pan, add white wine. Stir vigorously to loosen the fond from the pan, creating a dense sauce.
  7. Season the sauce with salt and additional fresh cilantro to taste.
  8. Add shelled shrimp, scallops, and bite-sized chunks of firm-fleshed fish (such as snapper or monkfish).
  9. Simmer gently until the seafood is opaque when cut into, about 12 minutes.
  10. Add steamed and shelled clams. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the clams are heated through.
  11. Remove from heat. Stir in grated cheddar cheese if desired.
  12. Garnish with sour cream and serve immediately.
